Apple Streusel Coffee Cake

  an easy, tasty coffee cake from scratch that is most excellent as the apples become ripe and in season in fall

Coffee cake:
Non-stick cooking spray
1 c. flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/8 tsp. salt
1/4 c. butter, softened (not melted)
1/2 c. sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
3 Tbs. plain yogurt
2 c. thinly slice, unpeeled apples
 
Topping:
1/4 c. flour
2 Tbs. Brown sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
2 Tbs. butter
 
Heat oven to 350° F.  Spray 9-inch round or 8-inch square pan with non-stick spray.  In a small bowl, combine the dry ingredients and mix well.  In a large bowl, cream the sugar and butter.  Beat until light and fluffy.  Add egg and vanilla and blend well.  Alternately add yogurt and dry ingredients to the butter mixture.  Mix well after each addition.  Spread batter in sprayed pan.  Arrange apple slices decoratively over batter.
 
In small bowl, combine all topping ingredients except the butter.  With pastry blender or fork, cut in the butter until crumbly.  Sprinkly the topping evenly over the apples.
 
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.  Cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
