1cupapple cider, (apple juice can be substituted if apple cider can’t be found)
½teaspooncinnamon
1teaspoonvanilla
½cup(106g)brown sugar
Streusel:
¼cup(36g)flour
¼cup(53g)brown sugar
2tablespoons(28g)cold butter
Instructions
Butter an 8×8 inch square baking dish. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
In a bowl combine the flour, baking powder, salt, soda, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg. In another bowl, whisk together the egg, 1 cup brown sugar, milk, melted butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla.
Stir in dry ingredients until just combined. Gently fold in apples. Spread in prepared pan.
In a small saucepan, bring apple cider, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 teaspoon vanilla and 1/2 cup brown sugar to a boil. Pour slowly and carefully over the batter. Bake for 35 minutes.
Meanwhile, put streusel ingredients in food processor (you can use a bowl and cut in butter with a pastry blender or fork) and pulse until butter is cut up and mixture is crumbly.
After the cake has baked for 35 minutes, sprinkle streusel topping evenly over the cake and bake 8-10 minutes more (until a toothpick inserted into the top layer of the cake comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs).
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream (don’t let the cake sit too long or some of the pudding will be asorbed in the cake topping – I would recommend eating it within 20-30 minutes of it being baked).
