Apple season is in full swing and we have been enjoying them in many different ways. Inspired by a delicious looking coffee cake from Southern Food, I adapted the recipe by adding apple, oats and a glaze frosting to this easy Streusel apple coffee cake.

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
2 1/2 tsp baking powder

1 egg
1/3 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 to 1 1/2 cups peeled, cored and chopped apple
GLAZE
1 cup confectioners sugar

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F; spray a 9×9 inch baking pan (square or round).
Prepare topping by combining flour, butter, brown sugar and cinnamon using a pastry cutter or fork. Toss in oats and stir. Set aside.
