FRESH APPLE COFFEE CAKE

FRESH APPLE/CRANBERRY COFFEE CAKE (2014)
(Came across a version of this on  facebook, decided to tweak it a bit….fabulous thing. Disappears so fast, you may have to make another…)
IN SMALL BOWL COMBINE: 1 tsp cinnamon, scant 1/3 cup brown sugar

 
IN LARGER BOWL COMBINE: ½ cup soft margarine, 2 eggs, 1/3 cup sugar, 1 ½ tsp vanilla, ½ cup orange juice or milk,1 ¾ tsp baking powder, 1 ½ cups flour ( can be half whole wheat if you like), handful of dried cranberries and a handful of pecans ( if you wish). Do not overbeat. Just combine .

HAVE READY: 1 large apple grated.

 
PUT TOGETHER: Spread half batter in greased loaf pan, ,sprinkle with half the cinnamon/br sugar mix, and all of the grated apple. Spread rest of batter on top. Sprinkle with rest of cinnamon/br sugar mixture. You can even toss a few dried cranberries and pecans on top. But it’s not necessary.

 
BAKE: 350 F Oven for about 35 minutes. Be sure to test centre with a sharp knife to see if it has baked through. If not , add a few more minutes. Do not underbake. Let cool for a bit, Turn out to a board and slice away. Really a treat. Great for company, great with coffee, tea, wine, soup, stew……….the possibilities are endless.
