How to Make Sherry's Apple And Brown Sugar Coffee Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round baking pan.
  2. Peel and chop 3 medium apples into 1/2-inch chunks.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Stir in 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts.
  6. Divide the batter in half. Spread one half evenly into the prepared pan.
  7. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup sour cream, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2 large eggs until smooth.
  8. Add the sour cream mixture to the remaining batter and gently mix until just combined.
  9. Gently fold in 2 cups of the chopped apples.
  10. Pour the apple batter over the batter in the pan. Swirl gently with a knife to create a marbled effect.
  11. Bake for 60-75 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.
  12. Drizzle with a sherry glaze (optional: 1/4 cup sherry, 1/4 cup powdered sugar, and a splash of milk, whisked together) before serving.
