Instructions: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 9- by 13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup of the butter and 1 1/2 cups of the sugar. Add the eggs, one at a time. Add 3 cups of the flour, the baking powder, and vanilla, mix well.

Spread half the batter in the baking dish. Using a wet knife, spread the pie filling evenly over the batter then dollop the remaining batter over the pie filling and spread it with a wet knife, almost covering the pie filling.

In a small bowl, mix together with a fork the remaining 1/4 cup flour, 1/4 cup sugar, 2 teaspoons butter, and the cinnamon, until crumbly. Sprinkle over the batter then bake for 55 to 60 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cool in the baking dish on a wire cooling rack. Cut and serve.

Comments: If you use a glass baking dish, it will cook a little faster, so adjust your cooking time.
