How to Make Apple Coffee Cake With Crumble Topping And Brown Sugar Glaze

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13x9 inch baking dish.
  2. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add 3 large eggs one at a time, mixing 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. For the crumble topping: 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. Mix with your fingers or a pastry blender until crumbly.
  9. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the cake batter.
  10. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. For the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together ½ cup powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Add more milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, if needed to reach desired consistency.
  13. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake and let it set before serving.
