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!
Cinnamon swirl bread! So delicious! Can’t wait for the new book!
I would try something new from the book. I always love to try new recipes on my family and friends. As for the rolling pin maybe some pasta and for the pan…..a chocolate zucchini loaf.
I would bake your milk bread recipe in this pan. i made a batch over the weekend and baked it as rolls on my woodstove and they were amazing! I also want to try your pumpkin bread. I have two of your books and love all of the recipes. I would love to add this one to my library…BTW, they donuts look amazing!
I would teach my daughter how to bake bread! She loves helping in the kitchen and I love your cookbooks.
That looks amazing as have many of your holiday postings. I have to see the book for more ideas but I think this looks amazing for Christmas morning. I’ve been spending the month with my daughter and new baby and they make bread, just plain white slow risen no knead bread, all the time. I can’t wait to get back in my own kitchen.
Yum! Definitely your best book yet! Thanks for all the amazing recipes!!!
Oh yum. This looks so pretty. I would make an old recipe for banana nut bread that’s a tradition during the holidays.
I’d use the loaf pan for a pumpkin bread, but I’d use the rolling pin to make an apple crostada. Yum! I’ve got your other books, but I don’t have this one. It would be a great addition to my AB collection.
I would make brioche, and pot pies, and rhubarb crumbles, and all the coffee cakes!!
Monkey bread would be a fun use for this pan.
I would make a cardamom and cherry babka!
I would want to make a pound cake!
While I usually bake quick breads, I’ve always wanted to try baking babka.
I have four of the ABin5 books, and I always have one or two buckets of dough going, at least one white and one whole grain loaf in various stages of consumption, and a feeezer full of bread cubes to satisfy our regular cravings for bread pudding. To make my son happy, I’ve been regularly experimenting with cinnamon and caramel roll combos, mixing up doughs and fillings from the different books. I would roll out a lot more cinnamon rolls with that pin and bake some fabulous loaves (including the ham-cheese-cabbage filled bread from Healthy Breads) in that Emile Henry pan!
I would make monkey bread using the challah bread recipe (love it) & bake in crockpot (so easy). I really enjoy the newsletter and hints for recipes. This Apple-Cranberry Coffee Cake is going on my to-do list and I’d absolutely love the Newest cook book to add to my first 5-Minute Artisan Cook book.
This is an awesome giveaway! My oldest has celiac and I’m always experimenting with recipes to make him things he can enjoy. That pan would be perfect for a gluten free sandwich bread.
I would try something from the book. I would use the rolling pin for cutout sugar cookies.
This time of year, cherry and almond are my favorite flavors to work with. I’d make a cherry almond bread pudding because bread is lifeeeee! And it still looks festive.
I’d like to try something similar with chocolate and cranberries.
I am experimenting with all sorts of swirl bread fillings: Nutella, cinnamon, nuts, fruit jams. Yum!
Bread puddings! I love taking leftover breads of all sorts and pairing them with fresh fruits, dried fruits, nuts and ever cheeses with herbs for savory versions. This dish would be ideal for creating them!
That bread is GORGEOUS!! Mmm the first thing I would make with the book, rolling pin, and loaf pan are this loaf but with raspberries and dark chocolate chunks. OH MY!!! 😀
I would bake a fruit cake.
Oooo some holiday crumble cake!
I’d use the rolling pin for some Mardi Gras King Cake! It’s what I miss most after moving out of Louisiana! Can’t wait to try out some new recipes from your new book also 🙂
So many things, nutella swirl bread! babka, monkey bread! I made panettone from first bread in 5 book – it would be lovely in a loaf mold! Or perhaps the semolina loaf filled with tapenade and swirled like a babka? would that work . . . . must try now!
I would love to try the coffee cake pictured above in that lovely pan, but even my banana bread would look good in it. The rolling pin would work well for lefse, my favorite holiday tradition.
My mom as a secret Christmas bread recipe that she has literally only ever given to two people! It’s one of this things that immediately makes me feel at home – no matter where I’m living when I make it, I’m transported back to northern MN at Christmas time. It would be lovely to make in this dish!
Walnut Rosemary bread! The herb-y smell of rosemary is so great wafting from the oven! Thanks for your posts – they are amazing and motuth watering!
This bread looks so good with those layers I can almost taste the apples. I would love to make a strawberry rhubarb bread the same way as streusel goes so good with the tart rhubarb.
Chocolate Swirl Cream Cheese Pound Cake I’m so excited for this new book
i don’t quite know to say. Baking is better for me and it’s been a very long time since having a big interest in making bread but i used to make a new loaf or two when I started with sourdough. That resulted in a beautiful crumb and taste. Now, the very idea of a boule with a amazing crust has me more interested in bread again. It is so easy and not too demanding on timing and the number of ingredients. Now is the time to branch out into what has been shown here. So many ideas and not enough time. All I need now is the book and the rolling pin. And with more inspiration from the comments I’ve read already! It is the best way to keep the kitchen warm and the aromas!!! Besides, my birthday is just a few days before Christmas.
I would do a holiday bread with pistachio, cranberry, and white chocolate!
I’d love to make some cinnamon rolls with a twist by using less conventional flavors.
How could I possibly choose anything else with this delicious coffee cake staring me in the face?? Thanks for a chance to win!
Banana cranberry bread!
I’m planning on making a cinnamon swirl bread for Christmas morning – these would come in handy! Your new book is on my Christmas list. I can’t wait to see the other recipes.
I would use the rolling pin for pie crust, cinnamon rolls and my moms recipe for donuts. The baking dish is beautiful and just the right size for quick breads, meatloaf or monkey bread.
I would bake a zucchini or banana bread.
I would be so excited to win your book and always admire your skill when seeing a new recipe posted. I would use all the items to improve my baking and maybe even try to make croissants!! They scare me…lol.
Beautiful looking loaf pan!
I’d use it for making bread sandwich and loaf cakes, pound cakes.
Would love to have the rolling pin for making cut out cookies, cinnamon rolls and finally homemade pasta and traditional Polish pierogi.
I would gift this prize to my new daughter-in-law. She’s a wonderful baker and she has just set up her first apartment. She’d love this set.
Ooo I would make babka!!
There’s definitely this recipe! I bake treats for my coworkers often! I also need to use the brioche recipe to make monkey bread in this pan for my kiddos for Christmas morning! Aaaaand I make the brioche cinnamon pecan sticky rolls for the neighbors every year! Your book is a HUGE hit in this neck of the woods!
I’d love to make gingerbread loaf, pepperkaker cookies and banana bread with candied cherries for the holidays
What a fabulous giveaway!! I would definitely use this pan to make smaller batches of pecan maple cinnamon buns — especially for just 1-2 people. Thanks so much!
PS: Gave your newest book to my son & his wife as their “house-warming” gift!
Garlic pesto pecan loaf
I would love to learn some new recipes from the book!
I have a cheese bread I want to try
I would make some quick breads for Christmas nibbling… banana loaf, nutmeg bread, Sally Lunn… roll out some gingerbread and enjoy the smells of the season!
