Provided by Chef John

Categories     Desserts     Fruit Dessert Recipes     Apple Dessert Recipes

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
¼ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 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.
  • Remove cores from apples. Cut across into 1/8- to 1/4-inch slices. Stack up a few slices, make 1 cut down the center, and dice across into cubes. Add to cake batter, folding in with a spatula until just combined.
  • Spread 1/2 of the batter evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Scatter 1/2 of the crumble mixture evenly over the top. Top with the rest of the batter in dollops. 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.
  • Bake in the center of the preheated oven until a toothpick or bamboo skewer inserted into the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Let cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes, before slicing and serving.

Tips:

  • For the perfect crumb topping, use a combination of flour, sugar, oats, and butter. The butter should be cold and cubed so that it creates small pockets of steam when it melts in the oven, resulting in a light and fluffy texture.
  • To achieve a moist and flavorful coffee cake, use a combination of butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. The brown sugar adds a rich, molasses-like flavor that complements the coffee flavor.
  • For a tender and fluffy cake, use a combination of all-purpose flour, baking powder, and baking soda. The baking powder and baking soda react with the acidic ingredients in the batter to create carbon dioxide gas, which causes the cake to rise.
  • To ensure that the coffee cake is evenly cooked, place it in the center of the oven and bake it until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • For a delicious glaze, combine powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled coffee cake for a sweet and shiny finish.

Conclusion:

Crumble-top coffee cake is a classic breakfast or brunch treat that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its moist and flavorful cake, sweet and crunchy crumb topping, and delicious glaze, it's the perfect way to start your day or enjoy a special occasion. So next time you're in the mood for a sweet and satisfying treat, give this crumble-top coffee cake recipe a try.
