Apple Coffee Cake With Cinnamon Brown Sugar Crumb

Apple Coffee Cake with Cinnamon Brown Sugar Crumb is a favorite Coffee Cake recipe for brunch or dessert. Tender yogurt or sour cream coffee cake is loaded with tart Granny Smith apples then swirled with a brown sugar cinnamon crumb. It's then topped with more brown sugar cinnamon crumb mixture.  

It's such an easy Apple Coffee Cake Recipe.

Apple Coffeecake With Cinnamon Brown Sugar Crumb Swirl has been a regular on our fall must haves for years. I originally made it with the Krustez Cinnamon Crumb Coffeecake mix for years until I had perfected  this little gem..

It's perfectly moist and the cinnamon brown sugar crumb topping provides the perfect contrast to the tart Granny Smith Apples. I usually use whole wheat pastry flour to increase the fiber, but all-purpose flour works equally well I can never tell the difference in this recipe between the two flours.

The cinnamon crumb swirl ensures a taste of the cinnamon brown sugar crumb topping in every bite.

We love this Coffee Cake for brunch or dessert and it's always a hit.

Here's how to make Apple Coffee Cake:

Mix together:

• 2 cups Brown Sugar
• 1/4 All-Purpose Flour 
• 1 1/2 teaspoons Cinnamon

This can be done by hand or in a mixer.

Add 6 tablespoons Cold Butter, Cubed.

If using a mixer mix on low speed until crumbly, or cut in using a pastry cutter.

Mixture will form crumbs when pressed together. Set aside.

Cream together until light, and fluffy:

• 3/4 cup Cold Butter
• 1 1/2 cups Sugar

The cold butter helps add volume to the batter making for a lighter coffeecake.

Add 4 eggs one at a time, scarping sides of bowl between each addition.

Add 2 teaspoons Vanilla, and mix, until well combined.

Add:

• 1 1/2 teaspoon teaspoon Baking Soda
• 1 1/2 teaspoons Baking Powder
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt. 

Mix until well combined.

Add 3 cups All-Purpose or Whole Wheat Pastry Flour 1 cup at a time, alternating with 1 1/2 cups Sour Cream or Greek Yogurt (1/2 cup at a time.)

Tip: Whole Wheat Pastry Flour is a healthier option and no one will be able to tell it's whole wheat. 

Mix until just barely combined being careful not to over mix.

Add 2 whole Granny Smith Apples peeled, cored and diced, about 3 cups.

I like the granny smith apples because they are tart, and hold up well to baking. If they are too tart Pinovas are a bit sweeter, and always a favorite in baked goods if you can find them.

Butter a 9"x13" pan and line with parchment paper, butter parchment paper. Spread 1/2 of the apple batter mixture over the bottom of the prepared pan.

Press 1/3 of the Cinnamon Brown Sugar Crumb between fingers, and sprinkle evenly over batter.

Spread remaining batter over the top, and use a knife to swirl batter.

Press remaining crumb mixture between fingers, and spread evenly over the top of cake.

Bake in a 350 degree oven for 55-65 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool before serving.

Apple Coffeecake With Cinnamon Brown Sugar Crumb is all the things I love about the fall in each little bite.
