EASY CRANBERRY AND APPLE CAKE
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- Combine the cranberries, apple, brown sugar, orange zest, orange juice, and 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the eggs on medium-high speed for 2 minutes. With the mixer on medium, add 1 cup of the granulated sugar, the butter, vanilla, and sour cream and beat just until combined. On low speed, slowly add the flour and salt.
- Pour the fruit mixture evenly into a 10-inch glass pie plate. Pour the batter over the fruit, covering it completely. Combine the remaining 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar and 1/8 teaspoon of cinnamon and sprinkle it over the batter. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean and the fruit is bubbling around the edges. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

- If you don't have any cranberries on hand, you can substitute dried cherries or raisins.
- To make the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. The glaze should be thick enough to drizzle over the coffee cake, but not so thick that it's difficult to pour.
- If you want to make the coffee cake ahead of time, bake it according to the recipe instructions and then let it cool completely. Wrap the coffee cake tightly in plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- When you're ready to serve the coffee cake, let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
