Ingredients in apple crumble coffee cake

I wouldn’t suggest changing anything in this recipe, keep the ingredients and measurements the same and you won’t be disappointed.

Use regular all-purpose flour for best results, for both the cake and crumble layer.

Use a small amount of brown sugar for the cake layer and a combination of brown and granulated for the crumble to create that caramelized effect.

Use a combination of baking powder and baking soda for the cake layer and add some cinnamon for that extra flavor.

Any milk can be used for this recipe, I used soya milk to make it dairy-free.

You can use any coffee you like, I used an instant brand.

I haven’t tried using different oils for this cake but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. I used regular vegetable oil for this.

Use one regular sized egg.

For the apples: Mix them in some apple cider vinegar to soften them during the baking process and add about a tablespoon of sugar to create that caramelized effect and sweeten them just a bit.

Finally, use half a cup of melted butter, mixed in with the flour to create the crumble on top.
