Apple Cinnamon Coffee Cake

October 31, 2016 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 8 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Today I have for a recipe that I have shared on my blog back in October 2011.  That was my first year blogging and my photography was horrible and so was the recipe writing.  I have been wanting to re-make this recipe for years and finally did.  It is a big hit with my friends and family and I was just embarrassed of how it looked on my blog back then.  But not only did the photography improve dramatically, but the recipe is a lot more easier to follow.  I have for you a flash back improved recipe; Apple Cinnamon Coffee Cake.

Apple Cinnamon Coffee Cake

This coffee cake is so light, buttery and you have a sweet apple in every bite.  The cake has a wonderful cinnamon and sugar topping and oh the apples.  The apples sat in a cinnamon and sugar mixture and brought so much flavor to the cake.  It is not overly sweet, but perfectly sweet.  I am not a big fan on super sweet desserts.  If I want sweet, I’ll take a piece of chocolate, thank you.

I doubled this recipe, which worked like a charm.  I made one for home and one to take to work.  I am excited to take it to work.  My Boss told me that it was one of his favorite cakes, so I am happy to give this to him.  What I did different is that I made this in a 9″ round cake pan.  The last time I made this, I made it in a square pan.  I think in a round pan it looks more elegant, but still tastes as great, no matter what shape it is in.

The recipe is so easy to make too.  It only took me about 10 – 15 minutes to prep it and about 23 minutes to bake.  The smell of the cinnamon makes the house smell wonderful.  The ingredients in the recipe is basic too.  I didn’t add anything fancy to it, but it is a fancy cake.  🙂

I have to tell you, I went through a half a bushel of apples this week.  I am probably out of apple recipes for a while, which makes me sad.  I just love apples.  At least I am ending my apple recipes with a classic one.  I truly do love this recipe.  It is perfect for breakfast, brunch or a snack.  I do not feel the need to add any ice cream to this recipe, but vanilla ice cream is always welcome.  I did add a dollop of whip cream, which makes the slice of cake look pretty.

Apple Cinnamon Coffee Cake

Do you have any plans for Halloween this year?  With it being on a Monday, it is kind of hard to do anything and it’s suppose to rain, so I have a feeling it will be a quite night, which is fine with me.  We do not get to many Trick or Treaters.  Though I kind of wish I had a Halloween party at work.  That would have been fun.  Oh well, there is always next year.

Author: Jennifer Drummond
Recipe type: Dessert
Cuisine: American
Serves: 16 slices
Ingredients
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • ¼ cup + 2 tbsp. sugar
  • 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 6 tbsp. butter, softened
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup non-fat milk or milk of choice
  • 1 large apple, peeled, diced small (I used Pink Lady, but Granny Smith is perfect)
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Spray a 9-inch square or 9" round baking dish with cooking spray or grease with butter.
  3. In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of the sugar with the cinnamon; set aside.
  4. In a medium size bowl, add apples and 1 tablespoon of sugar and cinnamon mixture. Let it rest while you make the cake.
  5. In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
  6. Using an electric mixer; beat the butter with remaining ¼ cup sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla extract and egg until blended. Add the flour mixture in three additions, alternating with the milk, beating after each addition until just combined.
  7. Pour half of the batter in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Pour apple slices on the batter so they just cover the batter. Spread the rest of the batter over the apples (Note: Just work with the batter, it will come together.) Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-sugar on top of the batter.
  8. Bake the cake for 20 - 23 minutes or until it is lightly golden and the cake starts to pull away from the edge of the pan.
  9. Let cool completely before serving.
  10. Serving Size: 16 square or 8 large slices

If you want to check out the old recipe and the bad photos, but some beautiful photos of my trip to Apple Hill, you can go here.  Be warned the cake does not look good at all.  Pretty yellow in color.

I hope you have a great week and Happy Halloween!

Toodles,

Jennifer

      Thank you so much. It’s funny how much you grow and learn as the years go on. I have a few more recipes I want to re-visit, that need much needed attention. Thank you for the kind words.

Happy Thursday! I can’t believe it’s 4th of Ju Happy Thursday! I can’t believe it’s 4th of July weekend already! I’m not sure what our plans are, but I’m sure cooking on the bbq will be happening. It should be a nice weekend. 
🇺🇸
I thought I would share with you the little corner in my dining room that I decorated for the 4th of July. If you do not have any patriotic decor, all you have to do is add a flag to it. 
🇺🇸
Do you have any plans for this holiday weekend?

Happy Wednesday! I don’t know about you, but we Happy Wednesday! I don’t know about you, but we never eat our meals at the dining room table. We always eat at the kitchen counter. It’s convenient, easy to clean and it’s close to the food. Plus as a bonus, we get a nice view of the backyard.
💕
Just because you eat at the counter doesn’t mean you can’t create a pretty place setting. I like creating a place setting for my husband and I. It makes for a lovely meal and feels a little fancier.
💕
I was gifted this gorgeous flatware from @inoxartisans. This is the Chantilly Flatware 5 piece set. It’s handcrafted with 18/8 stainless steel. It has a nice weight to it, well made and it’s comfortable in your hand. The flatware is also dishwasher safe. 
💕
You can dress up the Chantilly Flatware with an elegant meal or use it for a more casual meal. If you are looking for new flatware INOX Artisans has a wide variety of styles that comes in gold, copper and silver.
💕
Do you eat at the dining room table or do you prefer the kitchen counter?

Happy Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterd Happy Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterday taking pictures of flowers and I felt a shadow flying around me. I looked up and there a Monarch butterfly. 
🦋
I don’t see Monarchs very much, I was delighted when I saw this orange beauty flying around. It landed on a Zinnia before it took a rest on my Butterfly Bush. Isn’t it beautiful? It made my day. It’s the small things.
🦋
I highly recommend a Butterfly Bush in your garden. The flowers come in a range of colors from white, pink to purples. They do well in zones 5-9. The flowers smell amazing and bloom all season. They are also a great butterfly attractor and fairly easy to grow.
🦋
Do you get butterflies in your garden?

I’m still working in my dining room and I wanted to share my new reversible sign that I got from @krumpetshomedecor. It’s a beautiful 24x9 sign that I thought it would be perfect in my dining room. 
🌸
I love sitting around the table with friends and family and tell stories, laugh, play games and have a good time. I thought the side of the sign that says “Enjoy Every Moment” was perfect.

Happy Thursday! Last week I cleaned my bedroom and Happy Thursday! Last week I cleaned my bedroom and boy does it feel so nice to have a clean room.
💕
One of the things I added was my new bedding that I got from @lushdecorhome. Let me tell you, it is so luxurious. This is the 3 piece Belgian Flax Linen Rich Cotton Blend Bedspread. It is so soft and gets softer with each wash. 
💕
I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors. 
💕
I love my new bedding, it’s so feminine and simply beautiful. I couldn’t be happier. Swipe the photo to see how happy Sully is on the bedding.

Happy Wednesday! Hope your week is going well. I’m so happy it’s half way over. It’s been so busy and yesterday I didn’t feel good. I had Chipotle for lunch and it didn’t agree with my stomach. Ugh!

I updated my little corner by adding some pops of yellow. I just love adding yellow and I love adding lemons. Speaking of lemons, how cute is my little “Hello Sunshine” pillow is from @krumpetshomedecor.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which is okay by me. Yesterday I worked on my bedroom and it feels so good having a clean bedroom. It was a chore that I needed to get done.
🐾
My inspiration was my new pillows that I got from @downlitebedding. The name of the pillow says it all “Ahhhhhmazing™ down alternative pillow” and they are amazing.
🐾
The pillows are so soft, plush and are hypoallergenic. They are easily molded so you position your neck, head and arms. The pillows are also washable and OEKO-TEX® Certified Textiles Are Certified Free Of Harmful Chemicals. 
🐾
I’ll be honest, Downlite Bedding are the only pillows that I sleep with. They are fabulous and will last for years. I highly recommend them. They won’t disappoint you. Downlite Bedding was nice enough to give my followers a 20% off discount code to there shop: DYGEN20.

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.

What’s your favorite thing to do in the summer?
