Apple-Cider Applesauce or 1 1/2 cups store-bought applesauce
2 small juicy apples, such as McIntosh, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/4-inch-thick wedges

Steps:

Time 1h50m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

3/4 cup all-purpose flour
2/3 cup packed light brown sugar

Pinch of fine salt
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe apples for the best flavor. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn are all good choices.
  • Peel and core the apples before cooking them. This will help to remove any bitterness from the skin and seeds.
  • Cook the apples in a mixture of water and sugar until they are soft and tender. You can also add spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice to taste.
  • Make sure the applesauce is completely cool before using it in the coffee cake batter. Otherwise, the cake will be too wet and dense.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the coffee cake in a preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
