Apple Steussel Cake





I baked this cake yesterday for family 'makan-makan' at SIL's house at Melawati as dessert. I like green apple so much so this cake came across my mind when I'm thinking what to bring.. My friend and also my ho school classmate Hilmy or better known as Chef C gave me this recipe. Besides of its easy to make cakes I like the mixture of taste in one bite..the sweetness of the cake, soury taste from the apples and the crunchy from the nuts and crumble topping..Just imagine that..Hmmm..yummy...
