How to Make Apple Walnut Coffee Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x8 inch baking pan.
  2. Soak 1 cup peeled and diced apples in ½ cup pure apple juice for 1 hour.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together ½ cup (1 stick) softened butter and 1 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  7. Gently fold in 1 cup chopped walnuts and the soaked apple pieces until evenly distributed.
  8. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. While the cake is still warm, prepare the glaze: In a small saucepan, combine ¼ cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons melted butter, and 2 tablespoons of the apple juice that the apples were soaked in. Stir until smooth and melted.
  10. Pour glaze evenly over the warm cake. Using a fork, gently poke holes in the glaze to help it soak in.
  11. Let the cake cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
