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!
I would bake a lemon cake from one of my mom’s recipe that is so simple and delicious
Cinnamin pull apart bread, I’d do that in this pretty pan!
I’ve been working on a babka/strudel hybrid that’s the first thing I’d make.
Would love to make the brioche from Holiday and Celebration Breadin5 in the Emile Henry loaf dish.
I would make a babka and include toasted nuts along with the chocolate. A pistachio babka was one of my favorite breads I made in school!
Nice! All great items of course.
Your recipe sound delicious and so pretty too.
Perfect as I have decided I MUST concur dough/bread.
First up I want to perfect an artist dark pumpernickel with onion.
A recipe I ate years ago but haven’t found a recipe for.
Thanks for giving us JOY all these years.
Merry Christmas.
I love to make half-and-half bread. That is, I make a batch of plain bread dough, shape half of it for the pan, then roll out the other half and add in cinnamon/raisins, apples/brown sugar, or even salami/cheese! Then I roll up and shape the second half, tuck it into the pan, and bake them together. One loaf, 2 flavors, lots of YUM! I’d love to try some recipes from the new book, or make a new half-and-half in the pan.
I would be making my grandmothers gum drop loaf. She always made this along with all the German cookies. Such special memories I have of baking with her. I still make the same recipes!
Ooooh exciting. I’m thinking paper thin rolled sugar cookies and a layered blueberry/strudel bread!
Why I’d make this coffee cake with every combination of fruit at my disposal, of course.
Apple-cranberry mousse (self made!) cheesecake
Would love to use these giveaway gifts to make a golden raisin cinnamon babka
Ohhh, I can definitely picture a chocolate babka in this pan! Thank you for the giveaway!!!
I would make a braided basil pesto loaf – so you roll out the dough, spread on basil pesto and parmesan, roll is up, cut the log down it’s length and twist it up. It’s so easy but also definitely a show stopper!
I would like to try sourdough for the first time.
Beautiful! I’ve been wanting to try a brioche swirl loaf with a sweet tahini filling, maybe pomegranate seeds and pepitas on top for the holidays :).
This looks amazing, I think my family would love this recipe. If I won, the first thing to come out of the oven would be a loaf of brioche!
I would make rye bread. I have coveted an Emile Henry pan for a long time!
After I made this cake, I’d make our old family babka recipe!
Oh wow…SUCH an incredible looking loaf! I would make quick breads with that pan, and of course this recipe! The gorgeous rolling pin I wold use for slab pies, pizza crust, and everything. That book I would be great inspiration for more uses of these goodies! Seasons greetings & baking joy to all
Can’t I just make this coffee cake? It looks amazing! I’d also make an apple pull apart bread.
I’m thinking a lasagna would be different. The shape and size are perfect!
I’ll use the rolling pin to roll out crust for my savory rustic pies. I’ll use the pan for your recipe and banana bread. So excited to read through the book!
Pound cake or sourdough bread.
I’d make more Rugelach for sure. Pound cake and pumpkin bread will certainly fill the loaf pan
I would bake cinnamon babka bread for breakfast!
This looks delicious! I’d like to try a cinnamon cardamom streusel bread.
I love tea cakes , pound cakes , walnut cake and fruit cake . My husband likes lemon cake though , so perhaps that’s the first cake I’ll bake .
I would make my great-grandma Mimi’s lemon bread, and I’d also love to try making a babka-inspired coffee cake.
Oh, maybe scone bread or a kranzcake.
I would love to make this Apple-Cranberry Coffee Cake. It really looks delicious and it has all my favorite ingredients and the new cookbook would be so much appreciated. Love your recipes thank you for posting so many new breads and others. Love fresh bread baking.
I’d bake this exact recipe! My favorite flavors!
I would make a “terrine” with very thin layers of puff pastry, pastry cream and fresh fruit
I would like to try making a Fig Bread, using this recipe as a guideline. I have a lot of dried figs from my tree and I’m always looking for ways to use them.
A chocolate babka with a twist shape would be wonderful in this pan.
I’m inspired by the thought of making a cake with dough, and I’ve been inspired by Zoe all year since coming across her posts on Instagram. Trying my hand at bread (which I’ve always found too intimidating to try!) would be made much easier with these tools. Thanks for the inspiration – I will definitely be making the Apple-Cranberry Coffee Cake this holiday season!
I would make my banana nut bread and I bake pies so I would love the rolling pin. My bourbon pecan pie is everyone’s favorite.
I think these would be great for making babka. I just love all the beautiful layers! Keep up the baking and posting! I really look forward to the Instagram posts!
That book looks like one I might need.
I would make a cheese and mustard pull-apart bread or a babka. Babka is on my bread bucket list.
Love your blog, thanks for all the ideas.
Im so excited to open your intetesting emails and look at the different recipes. Your zucchini choc cake is my favourite recipe. I want to make your new coffee cake in this email and also your apple galette. Thank you so much! I also bought your craftsy cheesecake class.
I‘d love to make a delicious apple strudel!
This sounds fantastic! I might also try it in a roll version ( as in cinnamon rolls) !
I would make the zucchini bread loaf from one my Grandma’s recipe given to me.
Fruit pies, babkas, and banana nut bread!
I’d make some gf cinnamon raisin swirl bread!
I’d love to use that pan to make a delicious Pumpkin Loaf with salted Maple Butter!
I plan on trying to incorporate some flavors in to my baking from my familys hispanic culture and also trying some of your wonderful recipes! Thank you for the chance!
I would use the loaf pan and make this apple cranberry coffee cake using gluten free flour.
I want to find the “just right” cranberry bread that my mother used to make. I don’t have her recipe, so I will have to do a lot of experimenting. Thank you for doing the giveaway.
A Mexican Hot Chocolate pull apart bread would be delish!!
