How to Make Apple Coffee Cake With Crumble Topping

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 13x9 inch baking dish with 2 teaspoons of butter.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add 4 large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup sour cream and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in 4 cups peeled and diced apples.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  8. **Crumble Topping:** In a medium bowl, combine ½ cup all-purpose flour, ½ cup packed brown sugar, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces. Use a pastry blender or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  9. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the cake batter.
  10. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Let cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before serving.
  12. **Optional Brown Sugar Glaze:** In a small bowl, whisk together ½ cup packed brown sugar, 2 tablespoons milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cake.
