Recipe Added:  10/27/2014
2 - 2 1/2 cups flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup sugar
2 1/4 tsp (1 pkg) quick-rise yeast
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cinnamon
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup butter, cut in to pieces
2 large eggs, room temperature

Glaze
1 cup powdered sugar
1 Tbsp milk

Apple Filling
4 large apples, peeled, finely, diced
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup lemon juice
3 Tbsp butter

Streusel Topping
1/3 cup ea brown sugar, flour
1/4 cup regular rolled oats
1/4 cup sliced almonds
1/4 tsp cinnamon, 1/8 tsp salt
3 Tbsp butter, melted

In the bowl of a stand mixer, using the paddle attachment, combine 1 cup flour, 1 cup whole wheat flour, sugar, yeast, salt, and cinnamon. In a microwave dish, heat milk and butter until warm (120° – 130°F). Add milk and butter to flour mixture. Mix in eggs. Blend at low speed until moistened. Beat 3 minutes at medium speed. Switch to the dough hook and mix in remaining flour a little at a time, to make a soft dough, adding more or less flour as needed. Knead dough 5 minutes. Place in greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover; let rest until doubled, about an hour.

In a large bowl, combine apples, 1/2 cup sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Melt 3 Tbsp butter in a sauté pan. Add apple mixture and sauté over medium heat until apples are tender and juices are thickened, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature before using.

Spray or line with parchment a 9” springform pan and spray parchment, using. Divide dough in half, keep remaining half covered with plastic wrap. Divide dough again in two pieces – a smaller piece 1/3 of the dough and a larger piece 2/3 of the dough. Shape the larger piece into a ball, then on a lightly floured surface, roll dough in to a 9-inch round. Put the round into springform pan. Press dough to fit the pan. Divide the smaller dough piece into four pieces. Roll each piece into a 16-inch rope. Twist two ropes together and place it on top of dough in the pan, along the outside to create a decorative border. Repeat with remaining two ropes and join the twists together in the pan. Cover. Repeat with remaining half of the dough.

Place half of apple filling in middle of each coffee cake and spread to the edges. Top the apple filling with streusel topping. Cover; let rise in warm place until doubled in size, about 45 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°. Uncover coffee cakes. Bake 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 5 minutes. Carefully remove from pan; place on serving plate.

Streusel Topping In a large bowl combine brown sugar, flour, oats, almonds, cinnamon, and salt. Add melted butter and mix with a fork until mixture forms large clumps.

Icing In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Drizzle over warm coffee cakes.
