Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Use firm, tart apples that will hold their shape when baked, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp.
  • Slice the apples thinly: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming mushy.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the cakes are cooked through.
  • Let the cakes cool completely before frosting them: This will help the frosting set properly.

Conclusion:

Candy cane coffee cakes with apples are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own tastes. Whether you like them plain or topped with frosting, these cakes are sure to be a hit.
