Disappearing Apple Cake

Yesterday I showed you my Apple Streusel Coffee Cake. It was soo good, and now there is barely any left! 

Today I realized that I did not include the recipe. So I will do that now. It is a bit lengthy, but totally worth it. Tomorrow, I promise I will have something new baked to show you. This is the full-sized recipe, because if it is halved, it disappears way too quickly!

Apple Streusel Coffee Cake
2 Tbsp. white vinegar
1 3/4 cups milk
STREUSEL
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/4 cup cold butter (or hard margarine)
CAKE
3/4 cup butter (or hard margarine), softened
1 3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt

2 medium cooking apples, peeled, cored and thinly sliced
Measure vinegar into 2 cup liquid measure. Add milk to equal 1 3/4 cups. Let stand for 10 minutes to sour.

STREUSEL Combine first 4 ingredients in small bowl. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Makes 1 3/4 cups topping.

CAKE Beat butter and sugar in large bowl until light and creamy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla. Stir. Combine next 4 ingredients in medium bowl. Add flour mixture to butter mixture in 4 additions, alternating with milk mixture in 3 additions, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Spoon 1/2 of batter into greased 9x13 inch pan. Spread evenly.

Arrange apple slices close together in single layer over batter. Sprinkle about 1/2 cup topping over apples. Spoon remaining 1/2 batter over top. Spread evenly. Sprinkle with remaining streusel topping. Bake in 350F oven for about 55 minutes until wooden pick inserted in centre comes out clean. Cuts into 15 pieces.
