-
1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)

How To Make An Apple Coffee Cake
Core, peel and dice the apples. Two medium-size apples should yield two cups of diced apple.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Prepare an 8 or 9 inch square baking pan with a generous coating of cooking spray.
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.
In a separate bowl, stir together sugar, melted butter, beaten egg and yogurt.
Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir until well-combined. Fold in the apple pieces and nuts, if using.
Spread batter in prepared baking pan.
To make the crumb topping: Simply mix all the topping ingredients together in a large bowl. The consistency will be like sticky wet sand. Using your finger tips, sprinkle the topping mixture evenly over the cake ingredients in the prepared baking pan.
Bake for about 60 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center of the coffee cake comes out dry (no batter).
Allow cake to cool before serving.
Optional Brown Sugar Glaze
- 1 Tablespoon butter
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 2 Tablespoons water
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Add the brown sugar and water and stir occasionally until well combined and syrupy. Turn off heat and stir in powdered sugar and vanilla. Stir until well combined. Drizzle over over cooled coffee cake.
Allow coffee cake to set for 10 minutes so excess glaze is absorbed into the cake.
Golden Delicious are my favorite kind of apples to use for this coffee cake. When using nuts, I go for pecans or walnuts.
Mr Breakfast would like to thank caroline for this recipe.

The recipe per above does not make a spreadable batter. I added an extra 1/4 cup and it turned out perfectly. I loved the oatmeal/brown sugar/butter streusel on top.

The coffee cake turned out well. I added an extra egg. The recipe doesn't tell you what to do with the nuts. I stirred them in with the apples. Finally, I'd cut down the nutmeg to 1/4 teaspoon. We'll make it again, though.
