Ingredients
- 1 3/4 Cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1/2 tsp. Salt
- 1 tsp. Baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. Baking soda
- 1/2 Cup Sugar
- 1/3 Cup Cooking Oil
- 1/4 Cup Applesauce
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 Cup Milk
- 1/2 Cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tsp. Vanilla extract
- 1 Cup Grated apples (about 1-2 apple)
- 1 medium apples (peeled, cored and thinly sliced)
Cinnamon sugar:
- 2 Tbsp. Sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Crumb topping:
- 1/3 Cup Flour
- 1/4 Cup Brown sugar
- 1 Tbsp. Cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp. Nutmeg
- Dash of salt
- 5 Tbsp. Cold butter (cut into small pieces)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch pie dish, springform pan, or square baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir together and set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together for about 15-20 seconds with a hand mixer. Add the applesauce, Greek yogurt, oil, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
- Add the dry ingredients into the wet and stir until just combined. There will still be some lumps - that is completely fine! Fold in the 1 cup of grated apple.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly. Lay the thinly sliced apples over the batter in about one or two layers.
- Mix the cinnamon sugar together and sprinkle it evenly over the sliced apples.
- Pour the remaining batter over the sliced apples and gently spread it out to cover.
- To make the crumb topping, combine the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a dash of salt in a medium bowl. Stir together. Add the cold butter pieces and use a pastry cutter or fork to cut the butter into the flour mixture until crumbly.
- Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the batter. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the coffee cake is fully set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.
