Here is my first project and hopefully not the last. This yummy dish was found in a book that I currently cannot remember. My sister is going to look where she found it. I have made this several times and improved it each time. I have added walnuts, cinnamon, and nutmeg. You can make your own personal variations by adding raisins. I was talked into making it once again by my co-workers and may decide to try it with new items. I hope anyone who tries out this recipe think it is as good as my roommate, Emily. She tried a piece before she left to visit you family for the weekend. Em told me she dreamed the whole weekend about it!
I used this personal version the last time:
Ingredients:
Batter
1 1/2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. nutmeg
1 egg
1/2 cup milk (or soy milk and 1 extra egg)
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 cup melted butter (or margarine)
4 medium apples
1 cup chopped walnuts
Topping
1/4 cup flour
1/4 soft or melted butter (or margarine)
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
Direction:
Preheat the oven to 350 F. Lightly butter or spray an 8 x 8 baking dish. I found glass is the best.
Stir together the all dry batter ingredients in a large bowl. In small bowl beat together egg, milk, vanilla, and melted butter. Then stir dry and wet mixtures until it is thoroughly combined.
Peel, halve, and remove the cores of your apples. Then slice into thing wedges. You can decide how thing you like them, just make sure the wedges are mostly even. Fold apples and walnuts (or your other extras) into the batter. Pour all of it into the baking dish and spread evenly.
Making you topping:
Mix all topping ingredients together well and then sprinkle evenly over the coffee cake. I find that you do not need to have that much topping. It is nice to just use only half the amount.
Now just bake for 35 to 40 min. or until top of the coffee cake springs back when gently pressed. Served when it is slightly warm.
