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.

I worked on my little corner by updating my bar cart, which is so dangerous because I added candy that I can’t stop eating. I also added  my new Kissing Booth sign from @krumpetshomedecor. 
💋
The Kissing Booth sign is reversible and the other side says kissing booth, kiss me I’m Irish with green writing and green lips. I’ll share the other side in stories. It’s so cute!

The Kissing Booth sign is the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week. Plus you get 10% off with code: PBANDP. The link is in my bio. Also Krumpets Home Decor ships to Canada.

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….
💖
My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.
💖
What do you do to get inspiration?

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?

I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together.
