- 1/4 cup sugar 50g

- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup yogurt 125g
- 1&1/4 cup fresh milled flour 150g I milled soft white wheat for this
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
Apple Cider Glaze Ingredients
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar 56g
- 1-2 TBSP Apple Cider
Instructions
- Firstly, mill the flour. (I weigh my wheat berries, then mill the total flour all together, and then just weigh out the amount I need for each part.)
- Spray your 8x8 pan with oil or line with parchment paper.
- Preheat the oven to 350*F.
- Peel and dice the apple.
Make The Cinnamon Apple Crumble
- Take 180g of the fresh milled flour (1&1/2 cup) and then add brown sugar, sugar, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Whisk together these dry ingredients.
- Then, add melted butter, and vanilla and stir together.
- Add the apple pieces and stir together, then set aside.
Yellow Cake Portion Instructions
- In a stand mixer (or you can use a hand mixer), add the softened butter and sugar. Cream the butter and sugar until it is lighter in color and fluffy looking (may take 5 minutes.)
- Then, add the egg to the creamed butter and sugar, and beat that in.
- Add the vanilla, and yogurt, and mix together.
- In a separate bowl, add 150g of the flour (should be the rest, about 1&1/4 cup), baking soda, baking powder, and salt. stir until combined.
- Slowly, add these dry ingredients to the creamed butter and sugar mixture, and then stir until combined.
Assembling & Baking The Apple Coffee Cake
- Spread half the yellow cake mixture on the bottom of the prepared baking pan. (This will appear to be a very thin layer!)
- Then, add half the cinnamon/apple crumble over the thin layer of cake batter.
- Spread the remaining cake batter over the crumble (it will again seem to be a very thin layer. trust the process! lol)
- Lastly, spread the second half of the crumble mixture over the top.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes (see notes at the bottom about pan size and type of pan.) You want the internal temperature to read 200*F.
- Make the Apple Cider glaze.
- Whisk together powdered sugar, and 1 TBSP apple cider. You can add a little more apple cider to thin out the glaze to your desired consistency.
- Drizzle apple cider glaze over the top of the coffee cake. Slice and enjoy!

Notes
*I make this in a smaller 8x8 glass pan which can make the baking time vary. If you are using a metal baking pan, your baking time will probably be closer to the 35 minute bake time. If using glass like me, it may take the longer 45 minute bake time.
*Also, if you want to make a larger batch, this can be doubled and made in a 9x13 baking dish.
*How To Store: To store this fresh milled flour apple coffee cake, just cover and leave at room temperature for 1-3 days. If you want longer storage, I recommend you let it cool completely, then slice into square servings. Place the squares in a freezer safe container or bag, and freeze for up to 3 months. Let come to room temperature to thaw, and enjoy!
