Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups Brown sugar, packed
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups Buttermilk
- 1.5 cups Apple, peeled and diced
- 1.5 cups Pear, peeled and diced
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour (for streusel)

- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (for streusel)
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted (for streusel)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 2.5 cups of all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk. Start and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the diced apple and pear gently until evenly distributed in the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.
To make the streusel topping, mix together 0.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 0.25 cups of brown sugar, and 0.5 teaspoons of ground cinnamon in a small bowl. Add the melted butter and stir until the mixture forms coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the batter in the pan.
Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice into squares and serve. Enjoy your Apple Pear Coffee Cake with a cup of coffee or tea!
