Apple Lodge Coffee Cake

1.5 c flour
1 c sugar (or use 1/2 c white, 1/2 c brown)
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt

1/4 c butter
1 egg
3 medium apples, peeled, cored, chopped
1/4 c packed brown sugar
1/2 c chopped pecans (optional)
1 tsp cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350. Use 8 inch square pan or loaf pan and coat with nonstick spray

Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cream butter and egg until light. Add flour mix to butter mixture with a few light strokes. It will be pretty dry. Don't overmix. Stir in apples, spread into pan.

Combine remaining ingredients, mix well and sprinkle evenly over top. Bake 50-55 minutes.
