Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup light brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup milk
• 1 egg, large
• 1.5 cups apple, peeled and diced
• 0.5 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar (for topping)
• 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the melted butter, applesauce, vanilla extract, milk, and the egg. Mix thoroughly.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Gently fold in the diced apples and chopped nuts (if using). Ensure the apples are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon for the topping. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the batter.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Apple Oat Coffee Cake with a cup of coffee or tea!
