Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 50 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 5 minutes

Ingredients

For the cake:

  • 3 c flour
  • 3 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 sticks (3/4 c) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 2/3 c sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 3 egg whites
  • 1 1/4 c milk
  • 1 Granny Smith apple

For the topping:

  • 1 1/2 sticks (3/4 c) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 1/2 c brown sugar
  • 3/4 c flour
  • 2 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 c chopped pecans

Instructions

  1. To begin, preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Grease a 9×13 inch cake pan. Set it aside.
  3. In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Put the first stick and a half of butter in a mixing bowl, along with sugar and vanilla. Beat those together until smooth.
  5. Mix in half of your flour mixture, then your milk, and then the rest of the flour mixture. Combining each addition completely before the next. Set it aside.
  6. In a bowl, beat the egg whites until they are stiff.
  7. Carefully fold these into the thick batter, until just combined.
  8. Spread the batter into the cake pan.
  9. Core and slice up the apple. I leave the skin on, but that is up to you.
  10. Arrange the slices over the top of the cake batter.
  11. In another bowl, stir together the 3/4 cup of flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and the chopped pecans. Add in the remaining butter. Mix until this is completely combined and crumbly. I find that this mixes best with a whisk or a fork.
  12. Sprinkle the mixture all over the top of the apples. Bake this cake for about 40 - 50 minutes, until the cake is firm in the middle, or tests done when stuck with a toothpick.
  13. Allow it to cool slightly and then enjoy.
  14. The cake can be served warm or room temperature.
  15. Enjoy!

  9. I never thought of having cake for breakfast, which I think it’s the most awesome idea I’ve heard all day! I usually buy a lot of apples thinking I’m going to make them into smoothies, but sometimes they go to waste, not anymore!

  11. its just AMAZING !!!! i can have this anytime of the day. a must try cake and love the way apples are arranged. I swear, my family is gonna love this.

  13. I love making coffee cakes. They are no fuss, rustic, delicious desserts. Apples season is just getting started here…so I have lots of great apples to choose from to make this great sounding cake.

  16. Goes without saying that the coffee cake is wonderful, but i love the quality of the photographs, well done.

  19. Like you, I have been following Ree for ages. Her blog was the very first blog I bookmarked, ages ago. Because of Ree, I got the courage to start my first blog in 2008. She is my blogspiration! Back to your post, this looks amazing. I have to give it a try. Thank you so much for sharing!

  20. loved your analogy of her taking photos of mustangs and you take photos of moose. That cracked me up. very clever writing. I have not seen many episodes of the pioneer woman but I have read her blog and she is very relateable. Your Apple coffee cake looks scrumptious!

  26. I haven't had coffee cake in so long…yours looks like a wonderful slice of heaven! Drooling just thinking about it…

  30. I know lots of folks who would love a slice of that coffee cake for breakfast! I'd have to settle for a bite or two.

  35. Sounds like you and Ree are like long lost sisters because you have so much in common :) What a great selection you've chosen based off Ree's apple coffee cake. It looks incredible!!! I also love all your pictures, especially the one of the moose! Too cute!!!

  36. I will take some of this with my coffee, please! I really need to start eating breakfast before going around to all the blogs :)
