Ingredients
Coffee Cake
1/2 cup butter or dairy-free butter alternative softened
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups gluten-free flour with xanthan gum (I used GF Jules all purpose flour - affliate link
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup buttermilk or sour milk to make: add 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar to a liquid
measuring cup, then add enough milk to make 1 cup total; let sit 10 minutes
2 cups baking apples skin removed & cut into approximately 1/2 inch cubes (you want slightly
tart, not sweet, apples)

Cinnamon Sugar Crumble

1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoon cinnamon
3/4 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a 9 x13 pan with parchment paper. (You could grease
the pan but I like the parchment paper because then you can lift the entire coffee cake out
and cut into perfect pieces)
2. Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar Crumble by combining all ingredients in small bowl and set
aside.
3. Cream butter and brown sugar until well combined.
4. Mix in egg.
5. Add vanilla and mix to combine.
 6. Combine flour, salt & baking soda in a medium bowl and mix with a pastry cutter, whisk or
fork.
7. Add flour mixture and sour milk alternately into butter/sugar/egg mixture until well blended
8. Stir in apples.
9. Pour into prepared pan and spread evenly.
10. Sprinkle crumble topping on top of cake batter.
11. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes or until a knife comes out of center clean. I like to
bake uncovered for 30 minutes, then cover with foil and bake an additional 5-10 minutes so
that it is well cooked in the center but topping doesn't over brown
