Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup sour cream
- 3 cups peeled and diced apples (such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)
- For the Streusel Topping:
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and walnuts (if using) for the streusel topping. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the sour cream, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Gently fold in the diced apples.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
- Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the batter.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Use your favorite type of apples for this cake. Honeycrisp, Granny Smith, or Fuji apples work well.
- Store leftover coffee cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Add a glaze for extra flavor.
