Apple Streusel Coffee Cake

---

This was a blueberry coffee cake that i tried from the penzey catalog. As with any recipe that i tried that they had posted it was great. I modified this because i wanted to try it with apples, and to fit what i had on hand. The response from the group i served it to was good.
