Ingredients

Coffee Cake

1 cup unsalted butter room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
¾ cup brown sugar can use light or dark brown sugar
4 eggs room temperature
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3 cups all purpose flour spooned and leveled
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup milk room temperature, I used whole milk

Apple Mixture

1½ cups apples about 2 apples, peeled and diced, I used Granny Smith
1 ½ cup brown sugar
8 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
⅓ cup all purpose flour
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon or apple pie spice
¼ teaspoon salt

Glaze (Optional)

¾ cup powdered sugar
1 to 2 tablespoons milk
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Coffee Cake

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray or butter. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar using a stand mixer or hand mixer for about 2 to 3 minutes.
Beat in eggs one at a time until fully combined. Add in vanilla extract and mix until combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Add one-third of the flour mixture and stir to combine. Add one-third of the milk and stir to combine. Repeat twice more. Set aside.

Apple Mixture

In a large bowl, combine apples, brown sugar, melted butter, flour, cinnamon and salt. Make sure the apples are evenly coated. Set aside.

Assemble

Transfer half of the cake batter into the prepared baking dish. Top with half of the apple crumble. Spoon the remaining batter on top of the apples and finish with remaining apple crumble mixture.
Bake the coffee cake for 45 to 55 minutes or, until an inserted toothpick, comes out mostly clean, with a few moist crumbs. Let cool to room temperature.

Glaze (Optional)

Combine glaze ingredients in a small bowl and whisk together until smooth. Drizzle over room temperature coffee cake and let set up for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
