Applesauce Coffee Cake image

Applesauce creates a moist texture in baked goods, as proven by this coffee cake. We made our own applesauce (one of the best ways to use up bruised apples) by stewing McIntosh apples in apple cider.

Yield Makes one 10-inch cake

Number Of Ingredients 16

Vegetable-oil cooking spray
12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup packed dark-brown sugar
1/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
2 3/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups chopped toasted pecans
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar
4 large eggs
Apple-Cider Applesauce or 1 1/2 cups store-bought applesauce
2 small juicy apples, such as McIntosh, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/4-inch-thick wedges

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 10-inch angel-food-cake pan with cooking spray; set aside. Make crumb topping: Stir together 4 tablespoons butter, the dark-brown sugar, oats, 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until smooth. Stir in 1/2 cup pecans; set aside.
  • Make batter: Sift flour, baking soda, nutmeg, cloves, and remaining 2 teaspoons cinnamon and 3/4 teaspoon salt; set aside. Put remaining 8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter, the granulated sugar, and light-brown sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Cream on medium speed until smooth, about 3 minutes. Mix in the eggs, one at a time. Reduce speed to low; mix in applesauce and then flour mixture. Stir in remaining cup nuts by hand.
  • Pour batter into oiled pan; sprinkle reserved crumb topping over batter. Lay apples on top, tucking some into batter.
  • Bake until a cake tester inserted near center comes out clean, about 1 hour and 10 minutes. Let cool in pan on a wire rack.

This applesauce coffee cake was a total fail. The cake was undercooked in the middle, and the applesauce filling was watery. I had to throw the whole thing away. I would not recommend this recipe.

I'm not sure what all the hype is about this applesauce coffee cake. It was just okay. The cake was a little dry, and the applesauce filling was too sweet for my taste. I wouldn't make this again.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my coffee cake didn't turn out well. The cake was dense and gummy, and the applesauce filling was too runny. I'm not sure what went wrong.
