  Topping: In a bowl, mix brown sugar, cinnamon, and flour. Add chopped butter. Mix well with a pastry cutter or 2 sharp knives. It will look crumbly. Add the nuts. Place hands in bowl.

  Place 1/2 of the mixture into the bottom of an angel food pan. With the back of a spoon, level the batter. Make a well in the center of the batter with a spoon all the way around.
• 
  Step 8
  Place half of the sliced apples in the well, overlapping in a spiral pattern. Sprinkle 1 Tbsp sugar with 1/4 tsp cinnamon over apple slices. Push down on apples with the back of a large spoon so that the apples are pushed into the batter. Cover with the remaining batter, smooth out.
• 
  Step 9
  Place remaining apples on top in a spiral pattern until gone. Place on top of each other. If you have extra, avoid putting apples on the outside and inside edges. Center the apples. Slightly push down on apples with the back of a spoon. Sprinkle the top with the cinnamon crunch you placed in the fridge.

  Place on the center rack in a 350°F oven. Bake for about 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
• 
  Step 11
  Remove the center cone from the pan after it cools for 30 minutes. Then, cool completely. Run a knife around the cake in the pan to loosen the cake. You may need to do the same to the bottom of the cone pan. Place a platter over the pan. Flip the cake onto a platter. Carefully, turn the cake over with crumbs on top.
