Pinterest has lots of ideas.

http://www.crunchycreamysweet.com/2014/09/21/the-best-apple-crumb-cake/

There is a place to click for a printable recipe.

The streusel part:

for the topping:
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter melted and cooled
1 and 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

to make the topping:
In a medium bowl, whisk together both sugars, cinnamon, salt and flour. Add melted butter and fluff with fork until mixtures creates crumbs. Set aside.

I usually get away with slightly warm melted butter but maybe should have cooled it completely. And this uses twice as much butter, a whole stick.

I oveermixed it. Says to fluff with fork (see above). I guess leave it lumpy/clumpy if you get that far. I might use a few drops of ice water. Dunno.

Maybe I will just make the streusel and see if it works. Eat it for a treat or set out for the birds or my possum visitor.

Now I'd better leave things be for awhile.

Ooooh, that looks good! Decisions, decisions...

There's a big bag of shelled pistachios sitting in the freezer waiting to be turned into cookies and ice cream. There are three bags of vital wheat gluten to be turned into seitan for stir fries (never had it before. Would also like to try turning it into "chikn nuggets.").

Thank you for taking the time to help me!
