Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.75 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup Milk
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 medium Apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- 0.75 cup All-purpose flour (for streusel)
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed (for streusel)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (for streusel)
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, cubed and chilled (for streusel)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round or square baking pan.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2.5 cups flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, 0.5 cup brown sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 0.5 teaspoon salt, and 2 teaspoons cinnamon.
In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and eggs. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; do not overmix.
Fold the thinly sliced apples into the batter and pour the mixture into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
To make the streusel topping, combine 0.75 cup flour, 0.5 cup brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a small bowl. Cut in the chilled, cubed butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the streusel mixture evenly over the batter in the pan.
Bake the coffee cake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature with a cup of coffee or tea. Enjoy!
