Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2.5 cups of flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 2.5 teaspoons of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt.
In a separate bowl, combine 0.5 cup of melted butter, 1 cup of milk, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 2 large eggs. Whisk until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in 2 cups of peeled, diced apples into the batter and ensure they are evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
To make the streusel topping, combine 0.5 cup of flour, 0.5 cup of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 4 tablespoons of softened butter in a small bowl. Use a fork or your fingers to mix until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the batter in the baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool slightly before slicing and serving. It can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
