Apple butter is the star of this recipe. I used homemade apple butter prepared by Dorothy, one of our customer ‘family’ & great cook (thank you Dorothy!). If you don't have homemade apple butter, you can usually find it with the jams at most grocery stores. Apple Pie Spice and True Cinnamon are the spices used to complement the apple butter. This coffee cake is moist and delicious and is great served warm or at room temperature. It's another yummy apple fall favorite!
Ingredients For The Cake:
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup granulated white sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup milk
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cups flour
2 tsp Apple Pie Spice
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup apple butter
Ingredients & Directions For the Streusel Topping:
Mix together with a fork until crumbly:
1/2 cup light brown sugar
2 tsp True Cinnamon
2 Tblspns flour
2 Tblspns butter (chilled)
Directions For The Coffee Cake:
Grease an 8 x 8 pan with cooking spray. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, beat the egg until frothy, and then beat in the sugars and the melted butter. Stir in the sour cream, milk, and vanilla. Mix to combine. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, Apple Pie Spice, baking powder, and salt. Fold this mixture into the butter mixture until combined. Do not overmix. Spoon 1/2 of this batter into the prepared pan. Spread the apple butter over the batter, and then spoon & spread the rest of the batter over the apple butter. Sprinkle the streusel topping over the batter. Bake the cake for 50 minutes or until a knife inserted into the middle, comes out clean.
