This Apple Pie Filling Coffee Cake combines the comforting flavors of classic apple pie with the fluffy, tender texture of a coffee cake. Layered with diced Granny Smith or Honeycrisp apples, miniature marshmallows, and chocolate chips, this cake offers a delightful mix of tart, sweet, and melty elements perfect for breakfast or dessert. Finished with optional caramel sauce or whipped cream, it’s a crowd-pleaser that’s simple to assemble and bake.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk)
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 4 large eggs

Filling and Mix-ins

  • 3 medium apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp, peeled and diced)
  • 1 cup miniature marshmallows
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Optional Toppings

  • Caramel sauce
  • Whipped cream
  • Powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, pour in the almond milk, vegetable oil, and eggs. Mix thoroughly until the batter is smooth and well combined, ensuring no lumps remain.
  2. Prepare to Assemble Layers: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a baking pan to prevent sticking. This will be used to layer the cake ingredients.
  3. Assemble the Layers: Spread a quarter of the cake batter evenly in the prepared baking pan. Then, arrange a layer of diced apples over the batter. Repeat this layering process, alternating between cake batter, apples, miniature marshmallows, and chocolate chips until all ingredients are used up, finishing with a layer of batter on top for structure.
  4. Bake the Cake: Place the baking pan in the preheated oven. Bake for 45-50 minutes, checking for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. It should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs, and the top should be golden brown.
  5. Cool the Cake: Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. This resting time allows it to firm up for easier slicing and serving.
  6. Serve and Garnish: Slice the cake and serve warm. For extra indulgence, drizzle with caramel sauce, add a dollop of whipped cream, or dust lightly with powdered sugar as desired.
  7. Pairing Suggestions: To complement the Apple Pie Filling Coffee Cake, serve alongside fresh fruits like sliced bananas or berries, enjoy with creamy drinks such as iced vanilla lattes or fresh orange juice, or balance the sweetness with savory sides like crispy bacon or sautéed spinach.

Notes

  • Use Granny Smith apples for tartness or Honeycrisp for a sweeter flavor—both work well.
  • Avoid over-baking to keep the cake moist and tender.
  • Customize your cake by adding a pinch of chili pepper for a spicy twist or mixing in chopped nuts for extra crunch.
  • Store leftover cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat slices in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to restore warmth and softness.
