Apple Coffee Cake

Apple Coffee Cake

Allrecipes.com recipe by Nancy Gibson

What a sensational autumn cake!  The tart Granny Smith apples combined with brown sugar, cinnamon, sour cream, and yogurt make this a perfect cake. I served it to guests for dessert with vanilla ice cream, then John enjoyed it as a coffee cake (even more moist) the next morning. The recipe was requested by all!

Cake:

1/4 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 large egg
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup vanilla yogurt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups peeled and diced Granny Smith apples
Topping:

1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons softened butter

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray and dust with flour.
2. Beat 1/4 cup butter and 3/4 cup brown sugar together with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy. The mixture should be noticeably lighter in color. Beat egg into butter mixture. Add sour cream, vanilla yogurt, and vanilla extract to the mixture; beat to integrate.
3. Stir 1 cup flour, 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl; add to the butter mixture and beat to combine into a batter. Fold apples into the batter. Pour batter into prepared baking dish.
4. Mix 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup flour, 2 tablespoons butter, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon together in a bowl using a fork to achieve a crumbly consistency; sprinkle over the top of the batter.
5. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool on wire rack.
