Pumpkin- Apple Streusel Cake

Adapted from a recipe by Bon Appétit October 2001 which called for a homemade pumpkin cake batter. Trader Joe's Pumpkin Bread & Muffin Mix was born for this recipe! It's to die for!

Ingredients:
Apples:
2 TBSP butter
4 cups sliced peeled cored apples (about 4 large)
3 TBSP sugar
3/4 tsp ground cinnamon

Crumb topping:
1/4 cup plus 2 TBSP all purpose flour
1/4 cup (firmly packed) light brown sugar
2 TBSP butter, cut into pieces
Pinch salt
3 TBSP pecans

Cake:
Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Bread & Muffin Mix

Preparation:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a rectangular ceramic baking dish. (a bit smaller than the standard 9 x 13, maybe 8 X 10)

For apples:
Melt butter in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add apples; sauté until apples begin to brown, about 5 minutes. Add sugar and cinnamon and sauté until golden brown, about 3 minutes longer. Cool.

For crumbs:
Combine flour, brown sugar, butter, and salt in bowl. Use pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal with a few larger pieces. Add pecans and mix.

For cake:
Make batter according to directions on box. Transfer batter to pan. Scatter apples evenly over top. Sprinkle crumb topping over apples.

Bake cake until topping is golden brown and tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 45-50 minutes. Cool cake in pan. Serve warm or at room temperature.
