Apple Coffee Cake Recipe
Description
This coffee cake assembles quickly by lining a springform pan with triangles of crescent dough pressed together to form a crust. Thinly sliced, cored apples are tossed with brown sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg to create a warmly spiced filling. Layers alternate between crescent dough and apples in the pan, allowing room for the dough to expand while baking.
Baked at 375°F until golden brown, the cake develops a flaky, buttery crust with tender, sweet apple layers inside. After cooling and carefully removing it from the pan, the cake is traditionally finished with a drizzle of caramel sauce and a light sprinkle of fleur de sel to enhance flavor contrast.
This coffee cake suits casual gatherings or dessert with coffee or tea. The use of crescent dough simplifies preparation, making it a practical way to achieve a layered apple dessert.
Ingredients
- 3 cans crescent dough refrigerated
- 2 apple cored, thinly sliced, large
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- caramel sauce
- fleur de sel
- cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Cut pieces of parchment paper to line the bottom and sides of a 9-inch springform pan. Coat the parchment with cooking spray.
- In a medium mixing bowl, toss the cut apple slices with brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and lemon juice. Coat well.
- Break refrigerated crescent dough into serrated triangles. Line the exterior of your springform pan with triangles, matching up edges and pressing into the sides to hold. Then press a layer of apple slices into crescent dough, followed by another lining of crescent dough. Repeat layers of crescent dough and apples until you have filled the whole pan. Do not worry about making it all pack tightly, in fact leaving a little room for expansion is a good idea to ensure the dough cooks all the way through.
- Bake the cake for 35-40 minutes or until top is golden brown.
- Remove and allow to cool. Carefully remove from springform pan to serving platter.
- When ready to serve, drizzle with caramel and sprinkle with fleur de sel.
