Graham Apple Coffee Cake

This is amazingly delicious! It reminds me of graham cracker cake, which was a treat in my husband's family for birthdays. I prefer it warm, although it is still tasty at room temperature.


Graham Apple Coffee Cake
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1 cup flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 tsp. allspice
1/8 tsp. orange peel
1/3 cup butter, softened
1 cup milk
2 eggs
3 apples, peeled and chopped
Crumb Topping
1/4 cup butter, melted
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 tsp. allspice
1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs

Preheat oven to 350ºF. In large bowl, combine the dry cake ingredients through the spices. Add the butter and milk, and beat two minutes with an electric mixer. Add eggs, and beat two more minutes. Spread batter into greased 9-inch pan. Sprinkle evenly with chopped apples.

Combine all crumb ingredients together, and spread evenly over apples. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until cake is set.
