So Easy And Tasty Apple Streusel - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 large fall apples (Cortland or McIntosh are both great)
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Topping
1/4 cup cold butter (4 tbls. or 1/4 cup)
1/2 cup flour
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350\u00b0.
Grease the bottom only of a small (4 cups or so) casserole dish. Peel and core the apples, slice and place in a bowl. Top with sugar, cinnamon and vanilla, toss to coat. Set aside while preparing topping.
Make the streusel by cutting the cold butter into a bowl, adding flour, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg, if using. Rub it through your fingers until the streusel is a coarse, sandy/pebbly texture.
Put the seasoned apples into the pan, top generously with the streusel, and bake at 350\u00b0 about 30 minutes, or until the streusel is golden brown and the apple is starting to bubble up through the topping.
Serve and enjoy!
