How to Make Sour Cream And Apple Coffee Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13x9x2 inch baking pan.
  2. Make the topping: In a food processor, combine walnuts, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup flour, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Pulse until nuts are finely chopped. Add 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold, cubed butter and pulse on/off until crumbly.
  3. Cover and chill the topping.
  4. Make the apple filling: In a medium bowl, toss together the sliced apples, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons lemon juice.
  5. Make the cake batter: In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream and buttermilk.
  6. In a medium bowl, sift together 2 1/2 cups flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  7. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter, 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  8. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 tablespoon lemon juice and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  9. Gradually add the dry ingredients and the sour cream mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating between the two and mixing until just combined.
  10. Spread half of the batter into the prepared pan.
  11. Spoon the apple filling evenly over the batter.
  12. Spread the remaining batter over the filling.
  13. Sprinkle the chilled topping evenly over the batter.
  14. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil.
  15. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before serving.
