Apple Coffee Cake
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
5 1/2 Tbsp unsalted butter, room temperature
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup whole milk
1 medium Cortland or other baking apple, peeled and sliced
1 Set the oven to 375°F. Grease a 9-inch square
baking dish with or pie pan a 4-cup capacity.
2 Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3 In a bowl, combine 1/3 a cup of the sugar with the cinnamon, set aside.
4 In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream the
butter with the remaining 1/3 cup sugar. Beat in
the egg until blended. Add the flour mixture in
three additions, alternating with the milk, beating until just combined.
5 Spread half the batter in the baking dish. Lay
the apple slices on the batter so they just cover
the batter (you may have to overlap some slices).
Sprinkle the apples with half of the
cinnamon-sugar mixture. Spread the rest of the
batter over the apples. Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-sugar on top.
6 Bake the cake for 25 minutes or until it is
golden brown and apples start to bubble at the edges.
Serves 6.
