Yield Makes 1 Coffee Cake

Number Of Ingredients 15

For the streusel topping:
1 cup oats
3/4 cup white rice flour
1 cup brown sugar, well packed
1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
1/2 cup melted unsalted butter
Pinch of ground cinnamon
For the cake:
1 pound (grapefruit-size portion) Apple Cider Brioche
Unsalted butter, for greasing the pan
2 small apples (1 tart and 1 sweet), thinly sliced
1 pear, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons brown sugar
Grated zest of half an orange
1 1/2 cups streusel topping (above)

Steps:

  • Prepare the topping:
  • Combine all streusel ingredients in a bowl and mix until the butter is incorporated. Do not overmix-you want a crumbly texture. Set aside.

  • Toss the apples, pear, brown sugar, and zest together in a small bowl and set aside.
  • Dust the surface of the refrigerated dough with flour and cut off a 1-pound (grapefruit-size) piece. Divide the dough in two equal pieces, dust with more flour and quickly shape them into rough balls.
  • Press the first piece of dough into the spring-form pan.
  • Top with half of the apple and pear mixture, then sprinkle half of the streusel topping over it. Repeat with the next layer of dough, apple and pear mixture, and streusel.
  • Allow the cake to rest for 60 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Bake the cake in the middle of the oven for 55 minutes.
  • Allow to sit for about 15 minutes, then remove it from the spring-form pan.
  • Allow to cool before serving.
