Yield Makes 1 Coffee Cake

Number Of Ingredients 15

For the streusel topping:
1 cup oats
3/4 cup white rice flour
1 cup brown sugar, well packed
1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
1/2 cup melted unsalted butter
Pinch of ground cinnamon
For the cake:
1 pound (grapefruit-size portion) Apple Cider Brioche
Unsalted butter, for greasing the pan
2 small apples (1 tart and 1 sweet), thinly sliced
1 pear, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons brown sugar
Grated zest of half an orange
1 1/2 cups streusel topping (above)

Steps:

  • Prepare the topping:
  • Combine all streusel ingredients in a bowl and mix until the butter is incorporated. Do not overmix-you want a crumbly texture. Set aside.
  • Assemble the cake:
  • Grease an 8- inch round spring-form pan with butter. Set aside.
  • Toss the apples, pear, brown sugar, and zest together in a small bowl and set aside.
  • Dust the surface of the refrigerated dough with flour and cut off a 1-pound (grapefruit-size) piece. Divide the dough in two equal pieces, dust with more flour and quickly shape them into rough balls.
  • Press the first piece of dough into the spring-form pan.
  • Top with half of the apple and pear mixture, then sprinkle half of the streusel topping over it. Repeat with the next layer of dough, apple and pear mixture, and streusel.
  • Allow the cake to rest for 60 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Bake the cake in the middle of the oven for 55 minutes.
  • Allow to sit for about 15 minutes, then remove it from the spring-form pan.
  • Allow to cool before serving.

BOURBON SAUCE
1/2 cup brown sugar
3 teaspoons butter
1/4 cup bourbon whiskey

Steps:

  • Instructions:Preheat over to 325. Prepare pans. Sometimes I make this in loaf pans, sometimes as muffins, sometimes in ramekins. It's up to you.Mix apples and sugar in a large bowl and set aside. Mix eggs, oil and vanilla in a separate bowl. Combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, allspice and salt with a fork in yet another bowl. Next, combine egg mixture with apples and sugar. Combine flour mixture with apple mixture. Mix thoroughly it's very chunky. Then add raisins, cranberries, nuts and butterscotch bits into mixture until evenly distributed. Bake for 25-30 minutes. You may need to bake a little longer for loaf or bundt pans. Check with toothpick. Serve warm or at room temp. For added moisture, drizzle with Bourbon Sauce. (see below.)Melt butter over medium heat. Add brown sugar and Bourbon. Simmer on low heat, stirring often to cook off some of the alcohol, about 5 minutes. Poke holes in surface of warm cake with wooden skewer and drizzle with sauce. Cover and let stand for a least an hour before serving. Freezes well.Comments:First Place Taste Award, Haywood County Harvest Festival Apple Dessert Competition

Tips:

  • For a more pronounced cranberry flavor, use fresh cranberries. If using frozen cranberries, thaw them before using.
  • To prevent the streusel topping from becoming too dry, add a little bit of milk or water until it reaches a crumbly consistency.
  • If you don't have a 9x13 inch baking pan, you can use a 10-inch bundt pan or two 8-inch round baking pans.
  • To test if the coffee cake is done, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
  • Serve the coffee cake warm with a cup of coffee or tea.
