Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with cooking spray or butter.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, sour cream, eggs, oil, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth, about 2–3 minutes.
  3. Gently fold in the diced apples into the batter, ensuring even distribution.
  4. Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan, then sprinkle half of the streusel mixture on top.
  5. Add the remaining batter and smooth it out, followed by the final layer of streusel.
  6. Bake for 35–45 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then prepare the glaze and drizzle it over the warm cake.
