Aaron E's Favorite Apple Coffee Cake #Sunday Supper with "The Mom 100 Cookbook"

Today is a whole new level of excitement on Sunday Supper,since I’ve never done anything like this before!This week we've joined with Katie Workman author of "The Mom 100 Cookbook" and we'll be cooking our favorite portable dishes for friends and family from her book!

Katie's book as the name suggests has 100 recipes for Moms that are easy, affordable and a great way to enjoy food with family and friends.I particularly love the story behind each recipe and "what the kids can do" section on how to involve the kids in making the dish!!
I’ve chosen Aaron E’s Favorite Apple Coffee Cake mainly because we love apple desserts in my family and my kids like to bake with me J


The aroma of the Cinnamon Sugar wafting through the air, my house smelt wonderful once the cake was in the oven. I loved how easy this recipe was and the fact that it uses staple pantry ingredients saving you the time and effort to run to the stores J

The cake came out moist and delicious and the Fuji apples gave them an extra sweet flavor. The cinnamon sugar just brought it all together and my kids enjoyed their triumph in the kitchen J
As Katie says its perfect as a snack, dessert, a bake sale item or even a potluck offering J

Aaron E’s Favorite Apple Coffee Cake-From The Mom 100 Cookbook by Katie Workman

Ingredients:

For the Cinnamon Sugar Topping

Granulated Sugar-1/4 cup
Ground Cinnamon-1 tsp

For the Coffee Cake

Unsalted Butter-8 tbsp (1 stick) plus butter for greasing the pan
All Purpose Flour-1 ¼ cup
Baking Powder-2 tsp
Kosher Salt-1/2 tsp
Granulated Sugar-1/3 cup
Large Eggs-2
Pure Vanilla Extract-1 tsp
Whole Milk-2/3 cup
Large Apple -1 peeled, cored and coarsely chopped

Process:

Make the cinnamon sugar topping by mixing together the granulated sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
Preheat the oven to 375 F.
Grease a 9-inch square or round baking pan.
Place the flour, baking, powder and salt in a small bowl and whisk to mix. Set aside.
Place the sugar and butter in a medium sized bowl and using an electric mixer beat them until fluffy (about 3 minutes).
Add the eggs one at a time and then add the vanilla. Add the flour mixture and the milk alternatively in about 2 batches of each, beating after each addition until almost incorporated. At the end you still want to see streaks of flour and milk.
Using a wooden spoon, fold in the apple until everything is just combined. Spoon the cinnamon sugar topping over the top.
Bake the coffee cake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, about 30 minutes.
Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack.
Serve the coffee cake warm or at room temperature!
