Ingredients
  

For The Streusel Topping

  • 8 tbsp Unsalted Butter
  • 1 1/2 cups Gf Flour Or regular all-purpose flour if not gf
  • 1/2 cup Light Brown Sugar
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1/4 cup Chopped Pecans or Walnuts Chop into small pieces

For the Cake

  • 2 1/2 cups Gluten Free Flour
  • 1 1/4 tsp Xanthan Gum Only if GF flour does not have it in the mix
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 1 tbsp Baking powder
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1 tbsp Cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 cup Veg or canola oil
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1 cup Milk/Dairy-free milk I used almond milk
  • 1 Tbsp Vanilla extract
  • 2 Cups Apples, peeled, cored, and chopped

Glaze

  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp Regular/Dairy-free milk I used almond milk

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat oven to 350°F. Line a 9-inch square or round baking pan so you can pull the cake out of the pan.

Make the Streusel Topping

  • Heat butter in a small pot on the stove until melted.
  • Stir in remaining ingredients, with the exception of the nuts.
  • Mix with a fork to combine.
  • Stir in the pecans or walnuts until combined.

Make Cake Batter

  • Combine all dry ingredients in a large bowl and whisk.
  • In a separate bowl combine all wet ingredients and mix well.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix again.
  • Add in the chopped apples and mix until combined.
  • Pour the batter into prepared pan and sprinkle the top with the streusel topping..
  • Bake 45-55 in or until toothpick comes out clean.
  • If topping starts to get too brown, cover it with foil and continue to bake until done.

Make the Glaze

  • Once cake is cooled make the glaze.
  • In a bowl combine powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
  • Slowly add milk to reach the desired consistency. You want it thick but pourable so you may not need to use all the milk.
  • Drizzle over cooled cake.

Notes

  • You can make this cake using regular flour, just swap it out where needed. 
  • To store the cake, either use a domed cake lid or cover with aluminum foil so the topping stays crisp. It does not need to be refrigerated.
