Grease a 9-inch square baking pan and line the bottom with parchment paper if desired.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make the Streusel:<\/strong> In a medium bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Pour in the melted butter and mix with a fork until coarse crumbs form. Set aside.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mix the Dry Ingredients:<\/strong> In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cream the Butter and Sugar:<\/strong> In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2\u20133 minutes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add the Wet Ingredients:<\/strong> Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract. Add the sour cream and milk and mix until combined.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Combine:<\/strong> Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until no dry streaks remain. Avoid overmixing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add the Apples:<\/strong> Gently fold the diced apples into the batter.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Assemble:<\/strong> Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the streusel topping generously over the surface.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bake:<\/strong> Bake for 40\u201350 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cool:<\/strong> Let the cake cool in the pan for about 15\u201320 minutes before slicing.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Tips<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Use firm apples such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Pink Lady for the best texture.<\/li>\n<li>Dice the apples into small, even pieces so they distribute throughout the cake.<\/li>\n<li>Don&#8217;t overmix the batter after adding the flour; this helps keep the cake tender.<\/li>\n<li>For extra flavor, add \u00bd cup chopped pecans or walnuts to the streusel topping.<\/li>\n<li>Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for longer storage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Serving<\/h2>\n<p>Serve warm or at room temperature with a cup of hot coffee, tea, or a cold glass of milk. A scoop of vanilla ice cream also makes a delicious dessert-style serving.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Moist Apple Coffee Cake with Streusel Topping This delicious and moist Apple Coffee Cake is loaded with fresh apples and&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":8031,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8030","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-recipe"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8030","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8030"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8030\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8032,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8030\/revisions\/8032"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8031"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8030"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8030"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8030"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
