  • 1 whisk
  • 1 rubber spatula
  • 1 oven

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease the 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and ½ teaspoon of salt.

  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  • In another bowl, prepare the streusel topping by combining ½ cup of flour, ½ cup of brown sugar, ¼ cup of melted butter, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and oats (if using). Mix until crumbly.
  • Sprinkle the streusel mixture evenly over the top of the cake batter.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the coffee cake to cool in the baking dish for about 10 minutes before slicing into pieces.

Notes

You can use any variety of apples, but tart apples like Granny Smith work particularly well.
This cake can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature and pairs wonderfully with whipped cream or ice cream.
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
