Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups brown sugar
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.75 cups whole milk
- 2 cups apples, peeled and diced
- 0.5 cups rolled oats
- 0.5 cups chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
Gently fold in the diced apples using a spatula.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
In a small bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped pecans or walnuts (if using), 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons of melted butter to make the streusel topping.
Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the batter.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the coffee cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
