Apple Bacon Coffee Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F
• Combine nuts, flour, sugar and cinnamon in medium bowl. Cut in butter with pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Prepare cake batter as directed on package, except reduce the water to 1/2 cup. Blend in sour cream. Stir in apples and bacon.
• Pour into 13x9-inch pan sprayed with cooking spray; top with nut mixture.
• Bake 50 to 55 min. or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely.

Steps:

• In a small pan, heat the milk over medium heat just until warmed. Remove from heat and pour the milk into a small bowl or measuring cup. Stir in the yeast and 1 teaspoon sugar, and then set aside until the yeast is activated and the milk is foamy, about 10 minutes.
• Whisk two of the eggs in the bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment (or in a large bowl with a hand mixer) until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Stir in the yeast mixture and remaining sugar until fully incorporated.
• With the mixer running, add the butter, one or two pieces at a time, until all of it has been incorporated.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 cups of the bread flour and the salt. With the mixer running, add the flour mixture, a spoonful at a time, until all of it has been incorporated into the dough.
• Remove the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead until it is soft and elastic with a silky texture, 5 to 7 minutes (or you can use a dough hook on an electric stand mixer instead to do the kneading). Knead in additional bread flour as needed, up to the remaining one-half cup. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl and loosely cover with plastic wrap. Set aside in a warm place until doubled in size, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
• While the dough is rising, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until the fat is rendered and the bacon is crisp, about 15 minutes. Stir frequently so the bacon cooks evenly and does not stick to the bottom of the pan. Remove from the heat and drain the bacon on a paper towel-lined plate.
• Peel and core the apples, and slice each into eight pieces. Cut each slice crosswise into one-eighth-inch pieces.
• In a large non-stick skillet, add the apple slices and cinnamon and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in 2 tablespoons 100% pure maple syrup and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until crisp-tender, another 2 minutes. Remove the pan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and set aside to cool.
• When the dough is doubled, punch it down and roll it out on a lightly floured surface into a 12-by-18-inch rectangle. Spread the apples and bacon bits evenly over the dough. Roll the dough lengthwise into a tube (like a cinnamon roll); making sure the seam is on the bottom of the roll. Make 15 slits over the length of the roll, a little over 1 inch apart and three-fourths of the way through. Carefully transfer the dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Form the dough into the shape of a wreath, with the cut sides on the outside of the wreath. Loosely cover with plastic wrap and set aside until almost doubled in volume, 45 minutes to an hour. Alternatively, loosely cover and refrigerate the dough overnight; remove from the refrigerator about 1 hour before baking for the dough to come to room temperature.
• Heat the oven to 375 degrees. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon 100% maple syrup with the remaining egg. Brush the maple egg wash over the outside of the wreath and place the pan in the oven.
• Bake the coffee cake until golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Rotate the pan halfway through baking for even coloring.
• While the coffee cake is baking, make the glaze. In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and the 100% pure maple syrup.
• Remove the cake and allow the cake to cool slightly.
• Drizzle the glaze over the warm coffee cake. Slice and serve. The coffee cake will keep for up to two days, refrigerated. Cover and bring to room temperature before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray; dust with 1 tablespoon flour.
• Beat 1/4 cup butter and 3/4 cup brown sugar together with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy. The mixture should be noticeably lighter in color. Beat egg into butter mixture. Add sour cream, vanilla yogurt, and vanilla extract to the mixture; beat to integrate.
• Stir 1 cup flour, 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl; add to the butter mixture and beat to combine into a batter. Fold apples into the batter. Pour batter into prepared baking dish.
• Mix 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup flour, 2 tablespoons butter, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon together in a bowl using a fork to achieve a crumbly consistency; sprinkle over the top of the batter.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

Steps:

• Load your ABM according to manufacturer's recommendations (my Panasonic is dry then wet) with flour, milk, sugar, 2 eggs, 6 T butter, salt. Set on dough setting & run the cycle. Monitor when mixing, dough should be soft but not sticky or sloppy. adjust with additional flour as needed, a tablespoon at a time.
• While the dough is rising, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until the fat is rendered and the bacon is crisp, about 15 minutes. Stir frequently so the bacon cooks evenly and does not stick to the bottom of the pan. Remove from the heat and drain the bacon on a paper towel-lined plate, reserving one-fourth cup of the grease for the remainder of the recipe.
• Peel and core the apples, and slice each into eight pieces. Cut each slice crosswise into one-eighth-inch pieces.
• In a large skillet, melt 1 T bacon grease over medium heat. Stir in the apple slices and cinnamon and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in 2 T maple syrup and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until crisp-tender, another 2 minutes. Remove the pan from heat and stir in 2T Calvados if using. Place the pan back over medium heat and cook until the liqueur is mostly absorbed, if used, about 1 minute, stirring to scrape any bits of flavoring from the bottom of the pan. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
• When the dough is doubled, punch it down and roll it out on a lightly floured surface into a 12-by-18-inch rectangle. Spread the apples and bacon bits evenly over the dough.
• Roll the dough lengthwise into a tube (like a cinnamon roll), making sure the seam is on the bottom of the roll. Make 15 slits over the length of the roll, a little over 1 inch apart and three-fourths of the way through. Carefully transfer the dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Form the dough into the shape of a wreath, with the cut sides on the outside of the wreath. Alternatively cut the roll into 1 1/2 inch sections & lay in greased lasagna pan, like cinnamon buns.
• Loosely cover with plastic wrap and set aside until almost doubled in volume, 45 minutes to an hour. Alternatively, loosely cover and refrigerate the dough overnight; remove from the refrigerator about 1 hour before baking for the dough to come to room temperature.
