Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup milk
- 1 egg, large
- 1.5 cups apple, peeled and diced
- 0.5 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar (for topping)
- 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir until well combined.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the melted butter, applesauce, vanilla extract, milk, and the egg. Mix thoroughly.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the diced apples and chopped nuts (if using). Ensure the apples are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon for the topping. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Apple Oat Coffee Cake with a cup of coffee or tea!
