Ingredients

For the streusel topping:
1 cup oats
3/4 cup white rice flour
1 cup brown sugar, well packed
1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
1/2 cup melted unsalted butter
Pinch of ground cinnamon
For the cake:
1 pound (grapefruit-size portion) Apple Cider Brioche

3 tablespoons brown sugar
Grated zest of half an orange
1 1/2 cups streusel topping (above)

Prepare the topping:
Combine all streusel ingredients in a bowl and mix until the butter is incorporated. Do not overmix-you want a crumbly texture. Set aside.

Press the first piece of dough into the spring-form pan.
Top with half of the apple and pear mixture, then sprinkle half of the streusel topping over it. Repeat with the next layer of dough, apple and pear mixture, and streusel.
