FRESH APPLE CAKE WITH STREUSEL TOPPING
Fresh apple cake with streusel topping is a favorite with coffee for breakfast at my house. We love anything with apples and because it is made with a mix, it is quick and easy. Serve this cake at any gathering of friends and family for dessert or serve for any holiday meal. Apple recipes are always popular during the fall of the year or just anytime you want a great sweet treat.

1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
