Apple Kuchen

Place all of the dough ingredients in a large bowl and beat until well blended. (low speed for about a minute-then 2 minutes on medium).

Turn dough into a 9x13 baking pan.

Peel and core the apples, then slice into 1/4 inch slivers.

Sprinkle the dough with these.

Combine the other topping ingredients until you have a crumb mixture.

Sprinkle over the apples and bake in a 375 degree oven for 35-45 minutes until golden brown.
