I started by making the streusel topping.

I mixed the first 1 1/2 cups of Bob’s Red Mill 1 to 1 Gluten Free flour blend with the brown sugar, cinnamon and salt with a fork.

Then I added the melted margarine to the bowl. 

I stirred until all ingredients were moistened.

Now I set this streusel topping mixture aside until I needed it.

Next I started combining the ingredients for the cake.

Using an electric mixer I beat the margarine and sugar together until they were light and fluffy.

I added the eggs one at a time beating after each addition.

Then I added the apple sauce, vanilla an 1/2 of the streusel topping mixture that I had set aside earlier.

Now I switched to a wooden spoon to blend the ingredients.

Next I measured in the second amount of flour, meringue powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

I stirred the liquid and dry ingredients together with a spoon until they were just blended.

Then I added the diced apples.

I folded the apples in with a wooden spoon.

I scraped the batter into a square cake pan that I had sprayed with cooking spray.

Then I sprinkled the batter with the last half of the streusel topping that I had set aside.

Now I put the cake in a 350F oven and baked it for 50-60 minutes or until a tooth pick inserted in the center came out clean.

I allowed the cake to cool completely in the pan.

When the cake had cooled I cut it into squares and it was ready to serve!
