Quick Apple Coffee Cake

Here is a recipe for the delicious Apple Coffee Cake that I made for my dear Grandpa Fred on his birthday. I also made this cake for my family this past week and everyone loved it!

You will need:

3 cups flour

4 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

6 Tablespoons butter

2/3 cup sugar

2 eggs

1 1/3 cups milk

And for the topping:

4 Tablespoons butter, melted

1 cup brown sugar

1 1/2 Tablespoons cinnamon

4 cups apples, finely chopped and peeled

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

To begin, chop the apples (about six) into small bite-size pieces.

In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.

Cut in butter; add sugar and mix well.

Whisk in the eggs and milk. Then pour batter into a greased 9 x 13-inch baking pan.

Mix the ingredients for the topping in a clean bowl...

...and then pour or sprinkle over the batter.

Bake at 425 degrees for 25 minutes or until golden brown and cake tests done with toothpick or fork. Optional: Serve warm with a dollop on ice cream on top.
