Apple Streusel Coffeecake Recipe
Here is a great dessert that is about as healthy as a dessert can be.
Ingredients:
Streusel
1 1/4 Cups Light-Brown Sugar, packed
3/4 Cup Flour
2 tsp. Cinnamon
1 stick Butter, cold & diced
1 Cup Walnuts & Pecans, coarsely chopped
Coffeecake
3 1/4 Cups Flour
3/4 tsp. Baking Soda
1 1/2 tsp. Baking Powder
1 1/2 sticks Unsalted Butter, at room temperature
1 1/4 Cups Granulated Sugar
3 large Eggs
16 oz. Low-Fat Sour Cream
2 tsp. Vanilla Extract
2 Golden Delicious Apples, diced
Glaze
Powdered Sugar
Water or Milk
Splash of Apple Cider (optional)
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Directions:
Start by greasing and flouring a bundt pan.
To make the streusel, stir together the brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and butter with a fork, until crumbly and the butter is incorporated. Stir in the nuts.
For the cake, in a small bowl mix the flour, baking soda, baking powder. Beat the butter and sugar in a mixer until it’s fluffy, usually 2 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, then the sour cream and vanilla.
On low speed, add the flour mixture to the butter/sugar mixture, until it’s blended.
Add about 3 cups of the cake batter to the bundt pan, and then sprinkle on 1/2 a cup of streusel, a layer of apples, another 1/2 cup of streusel, and the remaining batter. If there’s any streusel left, sprinkle on top.
Bake for 50 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Let it cool on a rack for 15 minutes, then remove the pan and let it completely cool.
The glaze is optional, combine the water and sugar, until it’s even, add a splash of the apple cider, and strain the mixture. Pour over the cooled cake. You can sift a small amount of powdered sugar on top.
And Enjoy!
