Apple Nutmeg Coffee Cake

Today we're celebrating one of my absolute favorite things, coffee! Sure, coffee is great for drinking but it's also awesome so many other ways.



One of the ways I use it the most is in baking.  I chose to make this Apple Nutmeg Coffee Cake from Taste of Home because there's coffee in both the cake and the glaze. I am a huge fan of Door County Coffee and Tea Company and their Caramel Apple was perfect for this cake! I brewed one cup for the recipe and one cup for myself.

Since I do not own a 10" cast iron pan I used an oven proof 10" skillet. You start this recipe off on the stove, cooking the apples in butter until softened and then adding the coffee.  I had Granny Smith apples on hand but I think you could use pretty much any variety.

 

On to the batter. Going to confess, 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg called for didn't seem like much and I was freshly grating mine so I probably did closer to 1/2 teaspoon to the batter. It comes together quickly and then you pour it over the top of the apples and pop it into the oven. 

It smells amazing while it's baking.  Some of my apples rose to the top but that's okay. I set it aside to cool and then got to work on the drizzle. Once it was done I poured it into a measuring cup so it was easier to put over the cake.

It definitely lived up to its name, it was a cake that went perfectly with coffee.  I might actually up the amount of apples a bit next time so that there's a better distribution of them.

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons butter, cubed
  • 2 cups chopped peeled Gala apple
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, divided
  • 1/4 cup brewed coffee
  • 2/3 cup canola oil
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg plus 1 large egg white, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Drizzle
  • 1/3 cup brewed coffee
  • 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°. In a 10-in. cast-iron or other ovenproof skillet, melt butter over low heat. Add apple and 1/4 cup brown sugar. Cook and stir until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in coffee; remove from heat.

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites

I'm a huge fan of the Dunkin Donuts Power Breakfast sandwich, so when I started seeing ads for the new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites I stopped in and gave them a try.  They were delicious, but of course, I knew I could make them at home.  I started with the whites of six eggs. You can use pasturized whites if you don't want to do the whole separating, finding a use for the yolks thing.  I beat them up with some salt and pepper.   Next up, the tomato and spinach.  I used grape tomatoes, seeded them and then chopped them into 1/4" pieces. I like baby spinach, and I took about 10 leaves and chopped those up into 1/4" pieces as well. I added that to the egg mixture.  When you pour it into the pans, be sure that it all gets evenly distributed. They bake up pretty quickly, around 9 minutes or so.  Dunkin gives you two egg bites, the mini donut serving size is three. I pop them in ziplocs in the fridge and just pull a bag and reheat them in the microw...

Stuffed Waffles

I wasn't sure I was going to blog these stuffed waffles since it was the first time I tried using the new iron but since I'd already taken the pics as I went I figured, why not? They aren't perfect but they are delicious! I'd seen videos floating around TikTok and Instagram of people making stuffed waffles so I hopped over to Amazon and ordered the Elite Gourmet version.  The instructions were fairly straightforward but there was no recipe so I made up a batch of Classic Waffle batter. Then I scoured the fridge for things to stuff them with.    First up, some leftover taco meat from the previous night and Fiesta blend cheese,  pepperoni and mozzarella cheese and lastly some strawberries and cream cheese.   For the taco stuffed I added the taco meat and cheese in the middle and then set out some salsa and sour cream to top them with.  Learning curve lesson 1- make sure your ingredients are all room temp before you start, they will bake much quicker....

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Bacon and Cheddar Omelet Bites

Since I already came up with a version of Dunkin Donuts new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites for myself, I decided to make the other variety that they are offering, Bacon & Cheddar, for my husband. Super simple.  Beat up some eggs with salt and pepper.  Add in some shredded cheddar and a slice of bacon cut into 1/4" pieces (I used kitchen shears).  Bake them for about 9 minutes in sprayed mini donut pans. They baked up light and fluffy.  The bacon stayed crisp and there's just the perfect amount of cheese.   I split them up into portions in zip top bags and that way we can just grab a bag and warm them up. My husband laughed when I told him 3 is the serving size.  I'll definitely be doubling the recipe next time!
