How to Make Cinnamon Apple Coffee Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.
- In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon of the cinnamon.
- Set aside.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together the eggs and orange juice.
- Gradually add the vegetable oil and remaining 2 cups of sugar while beating until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the vanilla extract, baking powder, and flour.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Layer half of the batter into the prepared tube pan. Top with half of the apple mixture.
- Repeat with remaining batter and apples.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon of cinnamon over the top.
- Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes to 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
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.
