Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup sour cream
• 2 cups peeled, cored, and chopped apples
• For the streusel topping:
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round baking pan and set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the sour cream. Mix until just combined. Gently fold in the chopped apples.
5. To make the streusel topping, combine the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the streusel topping over the batter.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Remove from the oven and let the coffee cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
9. Slice and serve the delicious apple coffee cake with your favorite hot beverage.
