I am so excited to share this delicious fall recipe from Vanessa. Apple season is in a full swing, and there are many occasions where a yummy Apple Coffee Cake is in order! This is a perfect fall treat, or dessert for Thanksgiving (who is planning their menu’s already?!)!
Apple Coffee Cake by Vanesssa
Last weekend was a cold rainy weekend, and I was itching to do some baking. I’ve recently started baking from scratch, which is something my mother always did but I usually kept to the boxed items. Scratch is SO much better though and I almost always have everything on hand so I’ve pretty much stopped buying the boxed mixes.
This particular day I had apples I needed to use so I went to my favorite cookbook. The books that come from the church ladies are ALWAYS my favorite. They always have the most basic recipes I enjoy making, and I usually have everything I need on hand. I grew up eating these exact recipes so it’s always very comforting enjoying them. This one was found in the breakfast and brunch section….
- 1 ½ cups sifted all purpose flour
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup margarine
- ¾ cup sugar
- 1 egg
- ½ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 ½ TBS margarine
- ⅓ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 medium apples peeled, cored, and sliced.
-
Add baking powder and salt to flour and sift
-
Cream margarine and sugar. Add egg, beaten until fluffy.
-
Combine Vanilla with milk and add alternately with dry ingredients to creamed mixture.
-
Brush a 8 in square pan (I used a round cake pan but it turned out a little thicker then I would have liked) Grease pan. Pour batter in pan and arrange apples slices in overlapping rows on top of batter. Crumble topping on top.
-
Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.

Thank you for contributing the delicious recipe to my blog, Vanessa!

Looks delicious! Funny I made "Apple-Oatmeal Cobbler" today with raisins & cranberries.
I have enough apples left-over so I think I'll make this and freeze it for the future.
Thank you for sharing your recipe!
