Streusel

  • Mix the brown sugar and melted butter until smooth. Mix in the sea salt, flour, and ground cinnamon.
    The streusel should be crumbly. To thicken up the streusel, add more flour. If it's too dry, add in more butter.
  • Evenly distribute the streusel over the apple pie filling.
  • Bake for 28-32 minutes. Let the cake cool for about twenty minutes before adding the glaze. You want the cake to be slightly warm.
