Ingredients
 

  • 1¼ cups apple cider, reduced to ½ cup cooled
  • 1½ cup (210 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon (0.5 teaspoon) baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon (0.5 teaspoon) salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon (0.25 teaspoon) nutmeg
  • ¼ cup (113.5 g) butter room temp
  • ½ cup (110 g) brown sugar
  • ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup (59.15 ml) neutral oil I used coconut
  • 2 large eggs room temp
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ¼ cup (52 g) applesauce I used unsweetened

Streusel Topping

  • ½ cup (70 g) all-purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup (73.33 g) brown sugar
  • ½ cup (60 g) oats
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ⅛ teaspoon (0.13 teaspoon) salt
  • 4 tablespoon melted butter

Apple Cider Glaze

  • ½ cup (60 g) powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider

Instructions
 

  • Pour cider in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat, reduce to simmer and allow to reduce to ½ cup, this should take about 15-20 minutes. Pour into measuring cup or bowl and allow to cool to room temperature.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 F. Spray or line an 8" or 9" pan with cooking spray or parchment paper.
  • In a small mixing bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl beat ¼ cup of butter and both sugars. Add oil, eggs, vanilla and applesauce and beat again.
  • Mix in half of the dry ingredients, followed by the reduced apple cider, and then the rest of the dry ingredients. Pour the batter into prepped baking pan.
  • In a small bowl mix together flour, brown sugar, oats, cinnamon and salt for the streusel topping. Add melted butter and mix until all combined. Sprinkle on top of the cake batter, and lightly press into the batter.
  • Bake for 33-40 minutes, or until the edges are a light golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Allow to cool.
  • In a measuring cup or small bowl whisk together powdered sugar and apple cider. Using the whisk drizzle the glaze over the top of the coffee cake.

Notes

Reducing the apple cider gives it a much stronger flavor, do not skip this step.
You can skip the glaze and also sprinkle with powdered sugar on top.
You can make this into 12 muffins instead. Bake for 15-20 minutes.
I have given both cups and grams as measurements. Grams will be more precise, especially when measuring flour. If you don’t have a kitchen scale, no problem! Just lightly spoon flour into your measuring cup to insure its not packed in there. Light and fluffy is the key.
