- 1 tsp. Baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. Baking soda
- 1/2 C. Sugar
- 1/3 C. Cooking Oil
- 1/4 C. Applesauce
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 C. Buttermilk
- 1/2 C. Greek yogurt

Crumb topping:
- 1/3 C. Flour
- 1/4 C. Brown sugar

- 1/4 tsp. Nutmeg
- Dash of salt
- 5 Tbsp. Cold butter (cut into small pieces)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir together and set aside.
- In a separate large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together for about 15-20 seconds with a hand mixer. Add in the applesauce, Greek yogurt, buttermilk, oil and vanilla extract. Mix together until smooth.
- Add the dry ingredients into the wet and stir until just combined. There will still be lumps! Fold in the 1 cup grated apple.
- Pour half of the batter into a greased 9-inch pie dish, spring form pan or square baking pan. Spread out the batter. Lay a thin layer of the sliced apples over the batter. I do about 2 layers of the thinly sliced apples.
- To make the cinnamon sugar, mix the sugar and cinnamon together until combined. Sprinkle of the thinly sliced apples.
- pour the remaining coffee cake batter over the sliced apples and gently spread out.
- To make the crumb topping, combine the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, pinch of salt, and nutmeg into a medium bowl. Stir until fully combined. Using a pastry cutter or fork, cut the cold butter pieces into the flour mixture until mixed in.
- Sprinkle the crumb topping over the coffee cake batter. Bake for 28-32 minutes or until the coffee cake is set and toothpick comes out clean.
- Let cool slightly and enjoy!
