Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9-inch round cake pan with cooking spray.

In a large bowl, beat flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, butter, and egg until well mixed and crumbly. Stir in apples, then spread batter into prepared cake pan.

In a small bowl, combine Topping ingredients; mix well and sprinkle evenly over batter.

Bake 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Serve warm, or allow to cool, and cover until ready to serve.

We like to serve this warm, topped with a scoop of ice cream and some additional pecans sprinkled over the top.
