Now for the Apple-Cranberry Coffee Cake recipe:
Apple-Cranberry Coffee Cake
from Holiday and Celebration Bread in Five Minutes a Day
Makes one 8-inch round (or 4 1/2x 8 1/2 -loaf pan)
Oat streusel topping
1/2 cup oats
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup well packed brown sugar
1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Pinch salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Cake
3 apples, thinly sliced
1 1/2 cups fresh cranberries or 3/4 cup cranberry relish (since we all have lots of leftovers from the holidays)
1/4 cup well packed brown sugar
Grated zest of 1/2 orange
1 pound (grapefruit sized piece) Brioche dough (we have a brioche dough in each of our 5 books and all of them will work for this recipe, including the gluten-free recipes) or any other enriched dough from the books.
To make the coffee cake:
This recipe is slightly different than the one in the book, because I made it in a loaf pan and not an 8-inch Springform Pan
Butter the baking dish
Divide the dough into 3 pieces and roll each piece out to fit the shape of your pan. Line the bottom of the pan with one piece of the dough.
Mix together all the ingredients to make the streusel until it is evenly coated with the butter. Set aside.
Mix together the apples, fresh cranberries, sugar and zest. (If you are using cranberry relish, then leave it to the side, don’t mix it with the apples, although you could do that too).
layer the dough with 1/3 of the apples and cranberries,
then top with 1/3 of the streusel. Repeat with the next layer of dough, apples, cranberries and streusel.
Repeat again with the final layer of each, then cover and let the coffee cake rest for about 90 minutes. Letting it rest will result in lighter layers of dough and more even baking.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake for about 55-60 minutes (It should feel set in the middle when poked).
Allow to cool for 15 minutes in the pan before removing from pan.
Allow to cool to room temperature.
Enjoy and Happy Holidays!
The rolling pin and loaf pan were gifts from the companies, but the opinions of them are all ours!
Cranberry nut loaf would look pretty in that pan!
I would make my multigrain bread which has steel cut oats, bulgur wheat grains, rye, whole wheat, white flour. And for kicks put a cinnamon swirl in it which I haven’t tried.
Many of your breads would do well in the pan. As for the rolling pin, I’d give it to my daughter with the copy of ‘The New Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day’ that I already got for her for Chanukah/Christmas.
I volunteer as a Colonial baker at a historic site in Georgia (The William Harris Homestead). I use your recipes to bake bread over an open fire using Dutch ovens. People are amazed that you can bake bread that way. The bread in five recipes allow me to easily demonstrate baking under those conditions. We are in the process of building a Colonial bake oven. If I am the lucky winner, I will have new tools to help me educate people on Colonial era baking. I will use the rolling pin to have kids to make hand pies and the pan to bake Colonial era breads for visitors to try. It would make for tasty additions to my program.
Brioche. Banks, pumpkin nutella loaf… I’ve looked at the book but don’t own it yet. I want to make everything. What a Merry Christmas it would be to win this!
I would make pumpkin bread using the butternut squash I grew last summer. The rolling pin would look lovely hung on the wall with a pretty towel draped over it. And the cookbook? hours of reading and dreaming and doing!
Recently made pineapple cranberry conserve at work, so first thing I’d make with the bread pan would be a pound cake to put the conserve on!
Zoe mentioned many readers have asked about laminated dough since the very first ABin5. I’m one of them. Can’t wait to try the recipes in the new chapter on laminated dough.
I’m new to bread making and I just purchased your book ‘The New Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day’. My wife, family, friends, and neighbors all think that I’m an amazing bread maker! I’ve only done the Master Recipe Artisan Free-form Loaf and the 100% Whole Wheat Sandwich Bread. I plan on working my way through the book and this recipe will be great for a Christmas morning get together I’m having. The book “Holiday & Celebration Bread in Five Minutes will come in handy over the next few weeks. I’m sure the roller will come in handy when I start trying some of the holiday and celebration recipes. The loaf dish will look great coming out of the oven when I have guest over. Merry Christmas!
I’d make a gorgeous, tall loaf of chocolate bread….among a few others from HBin5!
Wow, I really want to make this! As well as many of the other recipes from the holiday book I saw Zoe show previews of on IG. I would make many things in the pan…I’ve been craving a pumpkin streusel coffee cake loaf of some kind..!! As for the rolling pin, it would nicely replace the wine bottle I’ve been using as I don’t have one…haha! 😉
I would make my grandmother’s peanut butter and jelly bread.
The apple cranberry coffee cake looks great. I love coffee cakes and will have to give this one a try. I could use the rolling pin for so many things where you need to roll out a dough (pies,, pizzea, breads, etc. The loaf pan could also be used for many thungs like various types of regular bread (white), quick breads (banana, pumpkin and so many other variations) and of course cakes like yours! Would really like to win as I desperately need a new pan and the rolling pin especially as mine are worn out. Thanks so much for the giveaway!
I would make so many things! Babka, cinnamon bread, chocolate bread, pumpkin bread and mote!
I would, immediately make this recipe. I’m a sucker for anything with Cranberries. I would use the rolling pin to also try to improve my pie crust making skills.
A zucchini cranberry loaf would look great or any of your recipes. I enjoy trying many of them and have had great success.
Loaf pans are a great way to scale back larger dessert recipes to a smaller yield. I follow a great blog that posts recipes for small batch desserts, and many of the cheesecakes and bars are made in loaf pans. I have a 9×5 but not an 8″, and it’s been on my list for too long! I have two rolling pins and neither of them is “right” for me just yet. I’m looking for the one rolling pin that suits me that I can carry with me forever. Maybe this is the one!!
There’s so many amazing things I can bake with those tools!! But I really want to try the cranberry nut loaf for Christmas! ❤
Happy Baking Holidays to You All!
I love to bake. I’d do a cinnamon pecan sticky bread to start with and go on from there.

I can imagine how good this would be substituting pumpkin puree and browned pecans instead apples and cranberries to spread between the layers
I would love to make Chocolate Babka!
I think the apple-cranberry Coffee Cake would be great. For variety maybe a a pear and date combo would be good too. Of cou6 I would like to make everything in the holiday cookbook.
Make the pumpkin dough and roll it out into a big square. Sprinkle with brown sugar, cinnamon & raisins. Roll it up like Babka so that it is kind of swirled. Bake in the loaf pan.
I’d probably make cinnamon rolls with lots of different dried fruits cause my little man loves cinnamon rolls like crazy!! Though it would be a cinnamon roll log! The more the merrier.
That looks dee-li-cious!! It would be fun to make some pecan buns…I use all sorts of containers to bake them in depending on size I want in order to gift to friends.
This looks delicious. I’d use the tools to try to make a chocolate babka – something I’vebeen wanting to make for a while.
I want to make challah which I haven’t made in years
This looks delicious! I also love Judy’s Board of Directors’ Cinnamon-Raisin Bread. The rolling pin and pan would come in handy for that.
Sweet breads, cinnamon swirl bread, babka and more. I have this book on my Christmas list.
Currant scones and pizza for a weekend in.
Chocolate Babka
I would make my favorite, Peasant bread. I spread the top with garlic oil, then sprinkle with a Mediterranean steak seasoning. It is my favorite bread to take to a party. Guests really enjoy it and say it doesn’t even need butter!
I’d make sandwich bread!
What lovely gifts! My 13 year old granddaughter loves to bake bread and I would give her the new Holiday cookbook. I gave her the New Artisan Bread in 5 and we had fun baking together with recipes from that book. Baking, sharing, and making precious memories with family and friends is something I love to do. The loaf pan is beautiful and the apple cranberry coffee cake has me drooling. If it weren’t almost midnight I would go in the kitchen right now and make it since I have all the ingredients. I even have brioche dough in the refrigerator!
What an interesting way to make a coffee cake…layers of bread dough and fruit. Will be trying this soon!
Chocolate babka!!! And then French toast it the next morning!! I’ve always wanted to try both if those things! Sounds yummy!!
So many choices of what could go into that pan. This recipe itself would be a good one, but I also make a delicious banana chocolate chip bread that would be good in it, or good ol’ beer bread. I’d love to give the book to my mother should I win (though I’d steal some recipes first!).
I would make a loaf of rainbow bread.
I would make Nutella Swirl bread!
I have been craving coffee cake since Thanksgiving, so that is all I can think about.
I’d make sugar cookies with the rolling pin and a fruitcake in the pan. Yum!
I would love to try my Oma’s stollen in that baking pan! The rolling pin would be perfect for holiday pastries, sweet and savory, and I am looking forward to baking inspirations from your latest book!
The book would be a perfect addition to my New Bread in 5 Minutes book. More inspiration!
I’d use the rolling pin for pizza dough, and my family’s classic cookie dough recipes.
I’m a canner – I make raspberry, peach, grape, & fig jams and give them. The recipe here could be substituted with peach or raspberry (or both) and some nuts. Yum.
My email address was off in my comment!
The book would be a welcome addition to my New Bread in 5 mins. I’d use the rolling pin for pizza and some of my family’s classic cookie doughs.
I’m a canner – this year I canned jams and jellies- grape, raspberry, peach, and fig. Peach and/or raspberry and nuts would be a good substitute for the cranberry in this recipe.
Definitely a chocolate babka!
I’ve always wanted to try babka or povitica
A layered pizza!
The pretty layers of this bread are so attractive. I could definitely use a new rolling pin, and as I don’t yet own this book, I’d love to put these tools to use as I explore the recipes.
