Apple Coffee Cake

Apple Coffee Cake

 

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup whole wheat flour

2 cups brown sugar

¾ cup shortening

1 tsp baking soda

1 egg

2 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp maple extract

1 cup hot coffee

2 apples, peeled, cored and thinly sliced

1 tbsp lemon juice

 

Preheat oven to 350º

 

Toss apples with lemon juice and set aside.

 

Combine the brown sugar and flours together.  Cut in shortening until mixed well, (it will be lumpy).  Take out one cup of mixture and set aside.

 

Dissolve baking soda in hot coffee and add to remaining flour/sugar mixture.  Add the egg, vanilla and maple extract and mix quickly.  Do not over mix.

 

Pour batter into a rectangle glass baking dish.  Layer sliced apples over top.  Sprinkle with crumb topping.  Bake at 350º for 45 minutes.  Can sprinkle with powdered sugar and served warm or cold.
