Description

You'll love this apple streusel coffee cake recipe. The cake is topped with a spiced apple-nut streusel that's super easy to make and best served warm.

Ingredients

2/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
6 tablespoons cold butter
1 apple - peeled, cored, and chopped
1 cup chopped walnuts
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup white sugar
1/3 cup butter, softened
1 cup milk
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
2 Combine brown sugar, 1/2 cup flour, and cinnamon in a bowl. Cut in 6 tablespoons cold butter. Stir in apple and walnuts. Set streusel topping aside.
3 Combine 2 cups flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Beat white sugar and 1/3 cup softened butter together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until creamy. Add baking powder mixture; stir in milk, egg, and vanilla extract. Transfer batter to the prepared pan; sprinkle streusel topping over top. Swirl a knife through both mixtures.
4 Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes.
