Apple Breakfast Cake Recipe
Description
The recipe blends basic cake ingredients—flour, baking powder, salt, sugars, applesauce, milk, and melted butter—with peeled, diced apples folded into the batter to add moisture and fruit sweetness. A streusel topping with oats, flour, cinnamon, brown sugar, and butter is mixed to a crumbly texture and layered on top before baking.
Baked at 350°F for 40-45 minutes, the cake develops a golden crust and a moist interior, with the streusel crisped and flavorful. The diced apples provide pockets of tender fruit throughout. Cooling slightly before serving lets the flavors set.
This breakfast cake pairs well with coffee or tea and can be sliced for sharing. It stores well in an airtight container for a few days, making it convenient for make-ahead occasions.
