Apple Streusel Cake

• 1/4 cups Pecans, Finely Chopped
• 1/3 cups Packed Brown Sugar
• 1-3/4 cup All-purpose Flour, Divided
• 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon, Divided
• 6 Tablespoons Butter, Divided
• 3/4 teaspoons Baking Soda
• 3/4 teaspoons Baking Powder
• 1/2 teaspoons Salt
• 1/2 cups White Sugar
• 1/2 cups Buttermilk
• 1 whole Egg, Lightly Beaten
• 3 whole Medium Granny Smith Apples, Peeled, Cored, And Thinly Sliced Or Chopped

1. Streusel topping:
2. In a medium bowl, cut together pecans, brown sugar, 1/4 cup flour, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons of butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Apple cake:
4. In a large bowl, mix the remaining 1 1/2 cups of flour and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon with the baking soda, baking powder, salt, and white sugar.
5. Heat 4 tablespoons of butter until melted but not hot and combine with the buttermilk and egg in a small bowl.
6. Pour the wet mixture into the dry and gently fold together until most of the flour is incorporated. Then add the chopped apples and mix until apples are combined.
7. Spread the batter into a greased 8x8" baking pan. Take a handful of streusel topping and squeeze gently to form a semi-solid piece, then gently break over the batter to form little pebbles of deliciousness. Repeat with remaining topping.
8. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in a preheated 400-degree F oven.
