1/4 c all-purpose  flour 
1 t ground  cinnamon 
3 T butter,  melted 

Cake:  Batter very stiff, a little hard to  spread 
3 c all-purpose  flour 
1 t baking  powder 
1 t baking  soda 
1/3 c (1 stick) softened  butter 
1/3 c granulated  sugar 
3 large  eggs 
1/2 t  vanilla 
1/3 c orange  juice 

Glaze: 
1/3 c confectioners’  sugar 
1-1/3 t orange  juice 

Prepare Streusel:  Preheat oven to 350F.  Grease a 9 to 10 inch tube pan.  
Prepare streusel in a med. Bowl, combine  sugar, apples, nuts, flour and 
cinnamon.  Stir in melted butter. 

Cake:  In med. Bowl, combine flour, baking  powder & baking soda; mix well.  
In large bowl, using an electric mixer, set on med. Speed, beat butter & sugar 
until light & fluffy.  Add eggs, mix at a time, beat well after each addition.  
Add vanilla.  With mixer on low, alternately beat  flour mixture & orange juice 
into egg mixture.  Spoon 1/2 of batter into tube pan.  Sprinkle with 1/2 of 
streusel.  Spoon the remaining batter over the  streusel, spreading to make an 
even layer.  Swirl batter with a knife to  create a marble pattern.  Bake 15 min.  
Remove cake from oven &  sprinkle top with remaining streusel.  Return cake 
to oven and bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean (about 30-35 
minutes).  Transfer to a wire rack; cool, completely. 

Glaze:   Combine confectioners sugar and  juice.  Mix well.  Turn cake out 
onto a serving plate;  invert so streusel is on top.  Drizzle glaze over 
cake and serve.
