Ingredients

• 50 grams Brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 260 grams All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 240 grams Sour cream
• 1 large Granny Smith apple (peeled, cored, and diced)
• 50 grams Chopped walnuts (optional)
• 60 grams All-purpose flour (for streusel)
• 50 grams Granulated sugar (for streusel)
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (for streusel)
• 45 grams Unsalted butter (cold, for streusel)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease or line a 9x9-inch (23x23 cm) baking pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Step 4

In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the sour cream, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.

Step 6

Gently fold in the diced apple and walnuts, if using.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 8

To prepare the streusel topping, combine the flour, sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Cut in the cold butter using a fork or pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 9

Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the batter.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 11

Allow the coffee squares to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing into squares.

Step 12

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Sour Cream Apple Coffee Squares!
