Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar
1/2 cup toasted pecans, chopped
1/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for cake pan
2 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled), plus more for cake pan
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar
4 large eggs
1 cup sour cream
2 Winesap or Granny Smith apples (about 1 pound), peeled, cored, and diced medium
1 cup toasted pecans, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Make topping: In a medium bowl, combine butter, brown sugar, pecans, oats, cinnamon, and salt. With a pastry cutter or your hands, blend until butter is incorporated and mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Make batter: Butter and flour an angel-food cake pan or 14-cup Bundt cake pan. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. In another large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugars on high, scraping down bowl as needed, until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Beat in eggs, one at a time, scraping down bowl after each addition. Add sour cream and beat to combine. With mixer on low, gradually add flour mixture and beat just until combined. With a rubber spatula, fold in apples and pecans; transfer batter to pan. Top with crumb topping and, with a butter knife, gently fold some of topping into batter. Bake until a toothpick inserted in middle comes out clean, 60 to 70 minutes. Let cool in pan on a wire rack 15 minutes, then turn out onto rack and let cool.

FANTASTIC APPLE SOUR CREAM COFFEE CAKE



Fantastic Apple Sour Cream Coffee Cake image

This addition of sour cream in this coffee cake makes it so moist and delicious! This is one of my all-time favorite cake recipes, I have even made this cake with fresh blueberries adding in 1 tsp almond extract to replace the vanilla, or you can even add it in when using apples --- this cake is fantastic without the topping and just used as a white cake --- I usually double the brown sugar topping and spread half of the cake batter in the pan then sprinkle half of the topping then top with remaining batter, the batter will not really cover the topping mix if you are using a 13x9-inch pan but not to worry it will bake together just fine and besides you will be sprinkling the remaining batter on top anyway! --- serve this with whipped cream or ice cream, *SO* delicious!

Time 55m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup shortening (Crisco is good)
1 cup sugar (or more or less to suit taste)
2 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract or 1 1/2 teaspoons almond extract
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup sour cream
4 medium apples, peeled and finely chopped (or 5 small apples)
1/2 cup chopped nuts
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Set oven rack to second-lowest position.
  • Grease a 13 x 9-inch baking pan (this can also be made in an 11 x 7-inch baking pan).
  • In a mixing bowl, cream the shortening and sugar for a couple of minutes.
  • Add in the eggs and vanilla or almond extract (if using); beat for about 5 minutes.
  • In a bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  • Add to creamed mixture alternating with sour cream.
  • Fold in the apples.
  • Spread the batter into prepared baking pan.
  • In a small bowl, combine the nuts, brown sugar, cinnamon and butter.
  • Sprinkle the nut mixture evenly over the batter.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the cake tests done.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Use tart or sweet-tart apples, such as Granny Smith, Braeburn, or Pink Lady, for a balanced flavor.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh eggs, milk, and butter yield the most flavorful coffee cake.
  • Properly measure your ingredients: Accurate measurements ensure a consistent cake texture and flavor.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together thoroughly: This step creates a light and airy batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • Bake the coffee cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: Overbaking can dry out the cake.
  • Serve the coffee cake warm or at room temperature: This allows the flavors to meld and develop.

With its moist, tender crumb, sweet-tart apples, and cinnamon-spiced streusel topping, it's a delicious and comforting dish that's sure to please everyone.
