GF Applesauce Coffee Cakes
Serving 12-24 coffee cakes
Ingredients
- 1 box Better Batter Yellow Cake Mix
- 2 cups applesauce (we love to use homemade or commercial chunky cinnamon sauce, but you may use any kind)
- 1/8 tsp of apple or pumpkin pie spice (optional)
Streusel
- 1/2 cup margarine, butter, or shortening
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup Better Batter Flour
- water to moisten
Instructions
Preheat Oven to 350 degrees. Line 12 mega muffin cups or 24 regular cupcake tins
Combine cake mix and applesauce (and optional spice) together in a mixing bowl, stirring until mixture resembles pudding. Beat on medium speed for about 2 minutes, or until smooth. Meanwhile mix together streusal ingredients, until mixture forms large crumbs when pressed together. Moisten hands, if mixture is too dry, to add a touch of moisture, when squeezing. Mixture should clump together with light pressure, but still crumble when pressed harder.
Divide Batter evenly into prepared cups – you should fill each cup half full. Top evenly with streusel.
Bake for 20-30 minutes or until puffed and slightly golden on the top.
Cooling and Serve. Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before lifting out onto rack. Serve warm or cold.
