Apple Crumb Cake

I was at my friends house this past week end. They have a apple tree in the back and I took some home. I wasn't sure what to make and while searching online this morning i came across this recipe. I did change it some to my liking. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. It would be great with a cuppa coffee or tea.
