Ingredients

For the Streusel

¼ cup unsalted butter at room temperature
¼ cup sugar
¼ cup light brown sugar
½ cup all purpose flour
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

For the Apple Cinnamon Coffee Cake Batter

¾ cup unsalted butter at room temperature
1 cup (215g) granulated sugar
½ cup (95g) brown sugar
3 large eggs at room temperature
1 cup sour cream at room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract at room temperature
2 ¼ cup (295g) all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
¾ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup of apple grated into batter

For the Apple Cinnamon Layer

¼ cup brown sugar
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ cup apple butter

For the Apple Cider Glaze

1 ½ cups powdered sugar
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
2-3 tablespoons apple cider

Instructions

For the Streusel

Combine the softened butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar and flour in a small bowl. Use a fork to combine the butter with the dry ingredients. Mix until you have a crumbly butter and sugar mixture.

For the Apple Cinnamon Coffee Cake

In the bowl of your stand mixer or using an electric mixer, cream the room temperature butter with the sugars on medium speed until light and fluffy.
Stop the mixer, scape the sides of the bowl and add the eggs, sour cream and vanilla to the batter. Mix on low speed until well combined. The batter may look a little lumpy, that's okay.
Use a spatula and fold the dry ingredients in to the coffee cake batter.
Grate one cup of fresh apple directly into the batter. Fold in the the grated apple.
Spray your bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray (Pam Baking Spray with Flour) or prepare your pan with melted butter and a dusting of all purpose flour.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkled brown sugar and cinnamon over the top of the batter. Top this layer with the apple butter.
Scoop the remaining batter into your pan and gently smooth the batter.
Top the batter with the cinnamon streusel mixture.
Bake cake at 350° for 55-60 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 200°.

For the Apple Cider Glaze

Sift the powdered sugar into a small bowl. Add the cinnamon and apple cider. Whisk until smooth and pour over cooled apple cinnamon coffee cake.

Notes

Storage: Cover your coffee cake with plastic wrap and store at room temperature for 2-3 days. You can store the coffee cake in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
