Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.75 cups unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cups granulated sugar
• 1 cups brown sugar, packed
• 3 units large eggs
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1 cups sour cream
• 2 medium apples, peeled and thinly sliced
• 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cups chopped pecans (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, using a hand or stand mixer, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and 0.5 cups of the brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Reduce the mixer speed to low and alternately add the dry ingredients and sour cream to the creamed mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

In a small bowl, toss the thinly sliced apples with the cinnamon and set them aside.

Step 7

Spread half of the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Layer the cinnamon-coated apples over the batter.

Step 8

Spread the remaining batter over the apples, smoothing it with a spatula.

Step 9

In another small bowl, combine the remaining 0.5 cups of brown sugar and pecans (if using). Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the batter.

Step 10

Bake the coffee cake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 11

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 12

Serve warm or at room temperature with a cup of coffee or tea. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
