Time 1h35m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 teaspoons unsalted butter
2 cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon fine sea salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
¾ teaspoon baking soda
1 ½ cups finely chopped toasted walnuts
⅓ cup packed light brown sugar
⅓ cup white sugar

2 large eggs
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup plain yogurt
2 each Honeycrisp apples

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 9x12-inch baking dish generously.
  • Whisk flour, sea salt, baking powder, and baking soda together in a bowl. Set aside.
  • Combine walnuts, brown sugar, white sugar, salt, cinnamon, and melted butter in a bowl. Mix until walnuts and sugar are thoroughly coated with butter.
  • Cream butter and sugar together in another bowl with a spatula until well blended. Add 1 egg and whisk until mixture is smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Whisk in second egg until thoroughly incorporated. Add vanilla extract and yogurt; whisk together. Add flour mixture to wet ingredients; whisk just until flour disappears. Do not overmix.

Spread carefully to evenly distribute, trying not to disturb the crumbs. Top with the rest of the crumb mixture. Press crumbs into the batter very gently.

  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense coffee cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet: A well-seasoned cast iron skillet will help to prevent the coffee cake from sticking and will give it a beautiful golden brown crust.
  • Don't overbake the coffee cake: The coffee cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can result in a dry, crumbly coffee cake.
  • Serve warm with your favorite toppings: Coffee cake is delicious served warm with a variety of toppings, such as butter, cream cheese, whipped cream, or ice cream.
