Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 3 | Apples |
| 2 1/2 | Cups Flour |
| 1 1/2 | Cups Brown Sugar |
| 3/4 | Cup Butter |
| 1 | Cup Walnuts |
| 1 | Teaspoon Baking Soda |
| 1 | Teaspoon Salt |
| 1 | Teaspoon Vanilla |
| 1 | Egg |
| 3/4 | Cup Sour Cream |
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Prepare Apples: Peel the apples and chop them into small, bite-sized chunks.
-
Prepare Dry Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, butter, and brown sugar until the mixture is crumbly and resembles coarse sand.
-
Add Walnuts: Stir in the walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the dry mixture.
-
Divide Mixture: Separate the dry mixture into two equal parts.
-
Layer Bottom: Spread half of the mixture onto the bottom of a 9-inch round baking pan, ensuring an even layer.
-
Prepare Wet Mixture: In another mixing bowl, beat together the sour cream, vanilla, and egg until just smooth.
-
Combine Wet and Dry: Add the wet mixture to the remaining half of the dry mixture, stirring until well combined.
-
Incorporate Apples: Gently fold in the chopped apples, ensuring not to overmix. Do not exceed 2 cups of chopped apples.
-
Bake: Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly over the bottom layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour to 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out dry.
-
Serve: Once baked, allow the coffee cake to cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature, with a hot cup of coffee or tea for a delightful treat any time of day.
-
Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer-term storage. Simply reheat slices in the microwave or oven before serving for a freshly baked taste.
Notes:
- Feel free to customize this coffee cake by adding your favorite spices such as cinnamon or nutmeg for an extra flavor boost.
- You can also substitute the walnuts with pecans or almonds, or omit them entirely if preferred.
- This coffee cake pairs wonderfully with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert option.
- Experiment with different apple varieties such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Gala for unique flavor profiles.
