How to Make Apple Spice Coffee Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round baking pan.
  2. In a food processor, pulse together 8 ounces Cool Whip, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, and 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice until combined. (Pulse for 10-15 seconds, do not over process).
  3. In a large bowl, gently combine the Cool Whip mixture with 2 1/2 cups Bisquick mix. Stir gently about 20 strokes until just combined; the batter will be slightly lumpy.
  4. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
  5. In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/3 cup rolled oats, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Use a pastry blender or your fingers to cut the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the batter.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. While the cake is cooling, prepare the icing: In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon milk, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Add more milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
  10. Drizzle the icing over the cooled cake.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
