1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup butter (1 stick), melted
1 cup sour cream
3 eggs, lightly beaten
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and finely diced (Cosmic Crisp apples)

3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 cup chopped pecans

1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter (1 stick), melted

2/3 cup packed light brown sugar

2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar in a large bowl.
Stir in melted butter, sour cream, eggs, and vanilla until smooth. Pour into prepared pan.
Sprinkle apples on top of batter. (Happy accident - apples got mixed in the batter, worked well)
In a medium bowl, stir together all topping ingredients until thoroughly mixed. Sprinkle on top of apples.
Place pan in oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Make glaze. Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan and place over medium heat until sugar and butter are melted. Drizzle over coffee cake. Serve warm or at room temperature.
