• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.75 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup Milk
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 medium Apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
• 0.75 cup All-purpose flour (for streusel)

• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (for streusel)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round or square baking pan.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2.5 cups flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, 0.5 cup brown sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 0.5 teaspoon salt, and 2 teaspoons cinnamon.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and eggs. Whisk until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; do not overmix.

Step 5

Fold the thinly sliced apples into the batter and pour the mixture into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 6

To make the streusel topping, combine 0.75 cup flour, 0.5 cup brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a small bowl. Cut in the chilled, cubed butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 7

Sprinkle the streusel mixture evenly over the batter in the pan.

Step 8

Bake the coffee cake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature with a cup of coffee or tea. Enjoy!
