Apple Cinnamon Streusel Coffee Cake

Disclosure: This Apple Cinnamon Streusel Coffee Cake recipe is a sponsored post.

This easy Apple Cinnamon Streusel Coffee Cake is an easy and perfect fall recipe. Now that apple season is in full swing it's time to find some sweet and easy homemade dessert recipes using apples.

Apple Cinnamon Streusel Coffee Cake, baking with yeast, easy yeast recipes,

 

This easy Apple Cinnamon Streusel Coffee Cake takes only 30 minutes of rising time thanks to Fleischmann’s® RapidRise® Yeast.

Baking with yeast doesn't have to be intimidating. Fleischmann’s® RapidRise® Yeast makes it easy to make a delicious holiday dessert.

Have you ever checked out the Fleischmann’s® Bread World website? It is loaded with easy yeast recipes that anyone can make and even has an area where you can learn everything you need to know about baking with yeast.

 

The inspiration for this Apple Cinnamon Streusel Coffee Cake comes from one of the easy yeast recipes on the Fleischmann’s® Breadworld website for a Beginner's Cinnamon Streusel Coffee Cake.

I love making homemade coffee cakes. They are really a perfect dessert paired with a cup of coffee after dinner. I love to serve my guests a piece of homemade coffee cake after one of our dinner parties
Back when I first started baking I would be filled with dread whenever I came across a very delicious looking recipe that called for yeast. Back then I would usually skip over that recipe and find another "easier" recipe that didn't require yeast. Now I know how silly that was and realize how many really good recipes I missed out on for no good reason.

Baking with yeast isn't difficult at all and there really are many easy recipes that call for yeast. as long as you can mix up the ingredients like any other recipe you can make a recipe that calls for yeast.

I'm going to show you just how easy it is to make this Apple Cinnamon Streusel Coffee Cake recipe with step by step photos.

How to make a Streusel Coffee Cake with yeast.

Scroll to the bottom of this post for the full  Apple Cinnamon Streusel Coffee Cake recipe and print option.

Gather the ingredients together.

Measure the dry ingredients into a large bowl.

Warm the water and oil in the microwave until it is very warm to the touch. Add the water, oil, egg and vanilla to the bowl of dry ingredients.

Beat for two minutes on medium.

Add the remaining flour to the bowl.

Beat the coffee cake batter for another 2 minutes.

Grease a 8x8 baking dish with solid shortening and spread the batter into the pan. Cover with a clean dish towel.

So far so good. There is not much difference between this coffee cake recipe with yeast than any other recipe is there? If you have never baked with yeast now you know just how easy it really is.

Now this is the point in this yeast recipe when we have to let the dough rise. Since we've used Fleischmann’s® RapidRise® Yeast our dough will double in size in about 30 minutes. If your kitchen is drafty or cold place the baking dish in a warm area out of drafts. You could put it inside a microwave oven or in a cold oven. My kitchen is pretty warm so I just left the pan on the counter.

While the dough is rising prepare the apples and streusel topping.

How to make a Cinnamon Streusel Topping

  • Mix all of the dry streusel topping ingredients in a small bowl.
  • Cut the cold butter into small pieces.
  • Add butter to the dry ingredients.
  • Cut the butter into the mixture with a pastry blender or your hands.
  • Set aside streusel topping.

Prepare the apples by mixing with the fruit filling ingredients in a bowl.

By now 30 minutes should almost be up. If you placed your dough into the cold oven to rise remove it and place it on the counter. Preheat the oven to 350 F. degrees. Take a peek at the dough. If it has doubled in size you are ready for the next steps. If it hasn't doubled in size replace the dish towel and let it rise for another 10 minutes or so.

Once the dough has doubled in size melt the 1 tablespoon of butter and add ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon. Gently brush the melted butter and cinnamon mixture over the top of the dough.

    what a shame that this recipe is difficult to follow. It says to add the butter in pieces to streusel ingredients but doesnt list how much butter.
    More confusing is "add the oil, vanilla,egg,water.
    to dry ingredients." what dry ingredients????? i would assume the two cups of flour, but nowhere does it say to separate the flour, because shortly after it says "add remaining flour"....what remaining flour?? i was excited to go to the store and get the ingredients but im unable to follow the recipe

      I am so sorry you had an issue with my recipe. My recipe writing skills have improved over the years. I have updated the recipe. Please print it out. I'm sure you will find it much easier to follow now. I have made this recipe tonight with fresh apricots instead of apples. It is cooling on my counter right now!

    There is an error in your directions..I think it should read: add 1 cup of flour with the yeast mixture instead of 1 cup of water..

    This looks wonderful. I wonder if I could let it rise overnight with regular yeast in the fridge?

      Thank you. I bet it would work. It will take a little longer to rise because the dough is cold but in a warm spot it should rise with no problem.
