APPLE SPICE CINNAMON SWIRL COFFEE CAKE
If you love cinnamon and apples, then this coffee cake is for you. It smells heavenly while baking. Starting with a spiced cake mix and apple muffin mix makes this easy to make and creates a yummy flavor combination. It's full of cinnamon and apples in every bite. This is a dense cake-like most coffee cakes, but very moist too....

Steps:
- 1. For Cake: Sift together all the dry ingredients several times - cake and muffin mix, instant coffee, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
- 2. In stand mixer, using paddle, starting on slow speed blend dry ingredients with eggs (one at a time).
- 3. Add yogurt, milk, oil. Blend on medium speed for 2-3 minutes.
- 4. Add apples and nuts. Blend a few more minutes until all ingredients are incorporated scraping the sides often.
- 5. CINNAMON SWIRL (best to do this after batter has been mixed as it only takes a minute). Melt butter. Add sugars and cinnamon. If mixture is too thick add a few teaspoons of milk until the consistency of gravy.
- 6. Pour your batters in prepared pans. For this one I used 6 mini loaf pans, filling to about 3/4 full. Test Kitchen Note: We used a 9x13 pan.
- 7. Dollop cinnamon swirl onto the batter 2 tablespoons at a time.
- 8. With a knife, gently swirl the cinnamon through being careful not to touch the bottom. NOTE: I learned the hard way, it sticks to the bottom and cake is difficult to get out.
- 9. BAKE @ 350 for how however many minutes, depending on size pan. For the mini loaf pans, it took 30-33 minutes. It also depends on your oven. Test Kitchen Note: It took 40 minutes for our 9x13 pan.
- 10. If you want an icing, with a mix whisk 3 tbsp of powdered sugar, 1/2 tsp vanilla and 1-2 tbsp of almond milk.
- 11. Drizzle or spread over cooled cakes.
Tips:
- Choose the right apples: Use firm, tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best flavor and texture.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dry cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use fresh spices: Freshly ground spices will give your cake the best flavor. If you don't have fresh spices, use half the amount of ground spices called for in the recipe.
- Don't overbake the cake: An overbaked cake will be dry and crumbly. Check the cake for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
- Let the cake cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to develop and the cake to set.
Conclusion:
Apple spice coffee cake is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you're serving it for breakfast, brunch, or dessert, this cake is sure to be a hit. With its moist crumb, sweet and tangy apple filling, and warm spices, this cake is sure to become a family favorite.
