LOVE this cake! I have now made it 4 times and the only change I’ve made is to use 2 types of apples (i.e. pairing Honeycrisp and Fuji). My husband, who is a chocolate fanatic, says this is now his favorite cake and my son-in-law requested it as his birthday cake.

In reply to Debra Schiff.

i love this i always cook the apples in cinnamon sugar and butter to give them flavor before adding to apple bakes. adding ground up walnut in food processor is amazing too in fruit bakes ♡

Pros: Good flavor, but the apple flavor does get a little lost (perhaps because apples are kind of mild). Also relatively easy to make given you don’t need a stand mixer. I also added a teenie bit of nutmeg and allspice to add more complexity to the flavor of the cake.

Complaints / challenges: Although I used weights, the streusel melted into the cake and I’m not sure if this affected the baking time, because it took about an hour to bake through, but then the top was slightly burned. It was really hard to tell if the cake was done because of the streusel on top. Not sure what I did wrong here because I’m very careful with my measurements and have made KAF’s coffee cakes to perfection many times. As a result, it’s not the most aesthetically pleasing.

A tip – my springform pan always leaks, so I put a cookie sheet below it or wrap it in foil.

Hi Margaret! Honey crisp apples will work just fine in this recipe. We hope you love it!

Thanks!

Would honey crisp apples be suitable? Or do you prefer a different kind?

Either will work here. It’s just a preference thing. I think I would personally put it in the topping. 🙂

Very good recipe. Next time, I want to add toasted pecans. What do you think would be better….in the cake or in the streusel? Thank you

I typically remove the sides when I serve the cake. 🙂

Oh no! Is it possible that your butter was still hot when you added it to the streusel? Over-mixing the streusel can also cause this 😞

My streusel melted into a solid topping, any ideas?

It is best that it isn’t very hot for both. Enjoy!

In reply to Sam.

Does the melted butter need to be cooled in both the cake and struesel?

Hmmm I’m not sure how it could be accomplished without having tried it.
