How to Make Apple Kuchen Coffee Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x2 inch springform pan or a 9x1 1/2 inch round pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, cream together 1 cup of sugar and 1/2 cup softened butter using an electric mixer on low speed until smooth (about 30 seconds).
  3. Beat in 1 large egg until well combined.
  4. Gradually blend in 1 1/2 cups of Bisquick baking mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Spread the batter evenly over the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pan, about 1 inch high.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup plain yogurt and 1 large egg until smooth.
  7. Gently fold in the diced apples.
  8. Spoon the apple mixture evenly over the batter in the pan.
  9. In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup sugar and 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
  10. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the apple layer.
  11. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the crust is golden brown.
  12. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully removing the sides of the springform pan (if using).
  13. Serve warm and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
