  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Apple Mixture

  • 1 cup brown sugar

  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions
 

Coffee Cake

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9"'x13" baking pan. Set aside
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter, sugar, and brown sugar for about 2-3 minutes. Beat in eggs, one at a time, and add vanilla. Mix until well combined.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. Alternate adding flour and milk to egg mixture. Stir until combined. Set aside

Apple Mixture

  • In a large bowl, combine apples, brown sugar, melted butter, flour, cinnamon and salt. Evenly coat apples and set aside.

Assemble

  • In prepared baking pan, spread half of the cake batter. Top with half the apple mixture and repeat. Use a butter knife to gently swirl batter and apples.
  • Bake for 45-55 minutes until toothpick inserted in center comes out with only a few moist crumbs. Let cake cool to room temperature.

Notes

  • When making apple mixture, adjust flour and apple ratio depending upon the juiciness of your apples.  Mixture should be somewhere between wet and a dry crumble.
  • Cake can be stored in an air-tight container for 2-3 days.
  • Cooled cake can be wrapped in plastic and foil and frozen for up to 3 months.
