Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C), with rack on lower middle position. Butter a 13×9 inch baking pan.
Make the Topping: Combine all topping ingredients except pecans in a large bowl. Use your fingers to work the mixture into the texture of wet sand. Work in the pecans. Cover and keep chilled.
In the bowl of a stand mixer (or a large bowl if mixing by hand), combine all cake ingredients except apples. Using the paddle attachment (or a whisk), mix at medium speed, stopping to scrape down the sides a few times, just until the mixture is combined. Don’t overmix!
Use a rubber spatula to gently fold in the diced apples. The batter will be thick.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the batter.
Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few small, tender crumbs attached. Do not overbake! (If the topping browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil.)
Let the cake cool completely before cutting into it.
If desired, make the drizzle by combining powdered sugar and milk, whisking until smooth. Add more powdered sugar or milk as needed to reach your desired consistency. Drizzle over the cooled cake.

Actual bake time may vary depending on your oven.
For a layered coffee cake: Double the streusel ingredients. Spread half of the batter into the bottom of the baking pan, sprinkle with half the streusel, then evenly spoon the remaining batter on top and sprinkle with the remaining streusel. Bake as directed, but you may need to increase the bake time slightly.
This cake keeps well when wrapped airtight at room temperature for 3-4 days. Leftovers can also be frozen in airtight containers for up to a month.
