Apple Cinnamon Whole Grain Coffee Cake with Oatmeal Granola Topping

Finally got it made. Love the granola topping. I tried not to take too many liberties with the recipe but added about 1 teaspoon nutmeg. I peeled and cut up 2 think they were Fuji apples, tossed them with a little cornstarch and raw sugar because I like sweet. Well, it took forever to bake. Finally I took it out and the apples were still a little crisp. Then I noticed the center was not completely done after I had eaten two pieces. So I put it back in the oven. All together it took about an hour with the temp probably 325 because my oven sometimes cooks hot.

So unless your 2 apples are a very quick cooking kind, I suggest you cook them in a saucepan with a tiny bit of water and sugar. Then you could probably omit the cornstarch but I'd stir a little into cold water and into the apples, let them cool, then add them to the mix.

I had it both with whipped cream and without. Good either way. Can just slice off a piece and eat it with your fingers. It did have that whole grain taste, I think that's what it was, that I'm not too used to in most baking but would make it again. When mixing it was very thick. i added a little more water, it was still thick. Part of the problem was I threw a handful of frozen blueberries in. By the time I got done, they were way overcooked. So that wasn't such a good idea. Better luck next time.

So excited to see whole grain options! Can't wait to try this!

I'll definitely try this one because of whole grains and fruit ingredients. Sounds healthful!

this is so simple to make.Very moist. This recipe is a keeper.

This is Fabulous! Moist the granola topping is just perfect.

would love to try this one....it makes my mouth water

This is one of those "no fail" family favorites. I love it!

That sounds like a great recipe to try, especially with fall around the corner.

This is my favorite muffin mix, so I will try the coffee cake

Looks really good will try and make tomorrow

I think it tastes very good, but i would use milk instead of water...

I just made this - - it's in the oven now! Thanks for the hints on baking time. The box only listed times for muffins! Can't wait to enjoy this today with whipped cream!

Just made this coffee cake yesterday afternoon. After cooling I put it in the refrigerator over night. Just had a piece for desert. Wonderful and moist. Baked for 14 min., then 6 min. then 5 &5 min. Total 30 min. but it turned out great.

hope its as good as the carrot cake mix

That looks yummy, will pick that up next trip to the store, double batch of that and ice cream. I love real whipping cream, too. pja, I don't know but I call around the main stores if I'm not sure they stock what I want. amazon has must be every kind they make, kind of pricey though, but might be worth it. I do a lot of improvising, would probably use slightly diluted frozen oj in place of the water and some grated peel in a yellow cake mix.

i am going to try this today -- sounds and looks absolutely delicious!

Where can I buy Duncan Hines Orange Cake mix in the Dallas, TX area?

this looks awesome. I am going to have to try this,

Cannot wait o try it !

This sounds easy and yummy, and I am looking forward to making this treat.

Yummy!

I loved this! Delicious for a breakfast or anytime snack. Warmed it up and added a dollop of whipped cream.

Love it! I added a little more cinnamon and served warm with vanilla ice cream!

This looks really tasty!! Apple anything is our favorite!

Looks amazing and healthy, too. Can't wait to try it.

So delicious! My family loves this!

This is an awesome recipe. I added two tablespoons of apple butter and the extra cinnamon flavor was nice.

This is extremely delicious and healthy-tasting - wonderful texture! If you are not an experienced baker, please note the following: (1) it is impossible to "pour batter" because this is almost dough, which must be spooned into baking pan - don't worry that you goofed somewhere; (2) impossible to "follow cooking time provided" because the box only gives baking instructions for muffins - baked 14 minutes, then 7-minute intervals (checking doneness each time) - easy to do with a toothpick in center of cake. If you like oatmeal, real flapjacks, and whole-grain bread, you will love this!

This recipe was a bit heavy for us but if it is served warm with a whipped topping or ice cream it is good. Better as a dessert rather than a coffee cake in the morning.

I really like adding fresh fruit when I cook, and this fits the bill!

Great recipe. I served this warm and topped with cinnamon vanilla ice cream and it turns into a healthier alternative to apple pie. Everyone loved!

Wow, this was better than I thought it would be. Really hearty!
