OneĀ thing I am always eager about thisĀ  Fall is the baking. This week I had this apple streusel coffee cake in the oven and the smell of the apples and butter baking together just reminded me of what I love about the season aside from the colorful falling leaves and the red and orange shade of the trees outside.

Such a delightful Apple treat! This Apple Streusel Coffee Cake combines tender-crisp apples, slivered almonds and buttery crumb toppings to make one delicious apple coffee cake. #streusel #coffeecake #appledesserts #applecakes

While there are days in the summer when I would not dare turn on the oven because of extremely hot weather, duringĀ Fall, it is definitely okay to bake every day. Not only it warms the house, but it also imparts that cozy, delicious aroma of baked goods.

So if you are one who enjoys the season by baking inside in cozy sweaters and a hot mug, make this Apple Streusel Coffee Cake happen. The smell is amazing and it is such a delicious apple treat.

I especially love the crunch from the almonds and the buttery crumb toppings that complement the tender texture of the apples.

The bright flavor of the fruit, the nutty note of the almonds and the texture of the crumbs make every slice of this cake a delight to eat.

Apple Streusel Coffee Cake

This cake has three elements, namely:

  • The Cake Base
  • The Apple and Almonds Layer
  • The Crumb/ Streusel Topping

To make the base, you simply combine melted butter, flour, sugar, eggs and baking powder until they are thoroughly combined. Press this batter into a greased 7-inch square pan.

Then you assemble the apple slices in three rows, sprinkle the cinnamon, then top that with the sliced almonds.

Lastly, prepare the streusel by combining melted butter, flour, and sugarĀ until they resemble breadcrumbs. SprinkleĀ this evenly over the entire surface and bake apple streusel at 350 F for 60-70 minutes, or until lightly golden.

So yes, even if the cold air has started to embrace our days, and as much as I’d like for the warm wind and late night sunset to stay, there is no stopping the cold season. It is always around this month that I dig our closet for thicker sweaters, and open boxes to bring out boots, mitts, and scarves.

But then it is also this time where I can bake all Fall recipes. Hello pumpkin, apples, sweet potatoes!Ā  I just totally enjoy this time of the year.
