Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Make the streusel topping
  1. In a food processor, pulse together sugar, salt, flour, and cinnamon.
  2. Add the butter, and process until well combined.
  3. Set the topping aside.
Make the filling
  1. Peel and dice the apples to equal sizes.
  2. To a medium saucepan, add the apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, butter, and lemon juice.
  3. Cook over medium heat, intermittently stirring, until the apples soften and the sauce thickens.
  4. Set aside to cool.
Make the Cake
  1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream the butter with the sugar.
  2. Add the salt, baking powder, and vanilla and combine.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  4. Add the sour cream and milk, and mix to combine.
  5. Add the flour to the mixture, and mix until completely combined and the batter becomes thick.
  6. Spread ½ of the batter into the prepared pan, all the way to the edges.
  7. Spread the apple filling on top of the batter, again, all the way to the edges.
  8. Cover the filling with the remaining batter, continuing all the way to the edges.
  9. Sprinkle the topping over the batter in the pan.
