• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.

5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the sour cream. Mix until just combined.
6. Fold in the chopped apples and walnuts.
7. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour, cold butter pieces, and ground cinnamon. Use a fork or your fingers to mix the ingredients until it resembles coarse crumbs.
8. Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle half of the streusel mixture over the batter.
9. Pour the remaining cake batter over the streusel layer and smooth the top. Sprinkle the remaining streusel mixture on top.
10. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
11. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
12. Serve the Apple Sour Cream Streusel Cake as is, or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
