A Twist on a Classic Recipe
This Apple Coffee Cake is a delightful twist on my Mom’s beloved Rhubarb Coffee Cake. We’ve adapted the recipe to be gluten-free using GF Jules Flour, and the result is just as amazing as the original, if not better. With the addition of apples, this cake is perfect for Fall or any time of the year. If you’re a fan of apple season or have an abundance of apples from your recent apple-picking adventure, you need to try this!
Quick and Easy
Making this gluten-free Apple Coffee Cake is a breeze. With just 12 pantry staples and some apples, you’ll have a delicious treat in no time. To make the cake, you’ll need butter (or dairy-free butter), brown sugar, an egg, vanilla extract, gluten-free all-purpose flour (we recommend GF Jules Flour), salt, baking soda, milk, and apple cider vinegar. That’s it!
Tips and Tricks
Before we dive into the recipe, here are a few tips to ensure your Apple Coffee Cake turns out perfectly:
- Make your “buttermilk” – You can easily make your own buttermilk by adding apple cider vinegar to milk and letting it sit for 10 minutes.
- Prepare the crumble – The cinnamon sugar crumble adds a delightful crunch to the cake. It’s made with sugar, cinnamon, and chopped walnuts (you can substitute with pecans or oats if needed).
- Choose the right apples – While you can use any apple variety you prefer, we recommend tart apples like Granny Smith. They pair wonderfully with the cinnamon sugar crumble.
Baking and Serving
Once you’ve prepared the batter, pour it into a baking pan lined with parchment paper for easy removal. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar crumble on top and bake until golden and delicious. The result? A mouthwatering cake with a tender crumb and juicy apple pieces.
Time to Indulge
Now that your gluten-free Apple Coffee Cake is out of the oven, it’s time to enjoy it. Serve it warm or at room temperature and savor every bite. The combination of the soft cake, sweet apples, and crunchy crumble will have you coming back for seconds.
