Apple Crisp Coffee Cake
Apple pie lovers will appreciate this moist, rich coffee cake. All the familiar flavors are here – apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, butter and a hint of lemon.
Ingredients
Dough
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 (0.25oz) package (7g) or 2 1/4 teaspoons Platinum Yeast
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon table salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup water
- 6 tablespoons butter or margarine
- 4 medium apples
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Topping
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons lemon rind
- 1/2 cup butter or margarine
Instructions
- In stand mixer bowl, add 1 1/2 cups flour, yeast, sugar and salt; mix well. In saucepan or microwave-safe dish, heat milk, water and butter to 120-130°F (butter does not need to melt). Add to flour mixture. Using a paddle attachment, blend on low speed for 30 seconds; beat on medium speed for 3 minutes. Gradually stir in enough remaining flour to make a soft dough.(NOTE: For hand mixing: following above steps, mix ingredients in large mixing bowl using a wooden spoon or dough whisk.)
- Cover bowl with plastic wrap and foil. Refrigerate for 4 to 24 hours.
- Peel and slice apples. Sprinkle with lemon juice; toss lightly. Set aside.
- Prepare topping: Combine flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and lemon rind. With pastry blender, cut in butter until consistency of cornmeal.
- Prepare pans: Grease two 9×9-inch cake pans.
- Spread half of batter evenly into each prepared pan. Arrange half of apple slices in three rows on batter in each pan; pressing in gently. Sprinkle topping over apples. Cover; let rise in warm place until double, about 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown. Cut in squares. Serve warm.

Do you make 2 separate cakes in 9″ pans, or do you stack them together for 2 layers?
