Warm up your fall mornings with this apple coffee cake recipe featuring autumn spices and chunks of fresh apples under a bed of cinnamon crumble topping.

Ingredients

1/2 teaspoon butter, or as needed
2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup white sugar
4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup buttermilk
1 egg
2 apples - peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch chunks

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Butter an 8-inch glass baking dish.
2 Combine flour, brown sugar, oil, white sugar, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, salt, and ginger in a bowl. Transfer ½ cup flour mixture to a separate bowl; stir in remaining 2 teaspoons cinnamon. Set topping aside.
3 Whisk baking powder and baking soda into remaining flour mixture. Beat buttermilk and egg together in a measuring cup until well combined; pour into flour mixture. Add apples; stir until just blended and no pockets of flour remain. Pour batter into the prepared pan; sprinkle with topping.
4 Bake in the preheated oven until apples are tender and a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes.
