Healthy (Ier) Apple Coffee Cake

I love coffee cake, and I love apple, so this is the perfect combination! Adapted from the Better Homes and Gardens cookbook and also other recipezaar recipes.

• Ready In: 45 mins
• Serves: 9-12

Ingredients

• For cake

• 1⁄2 cup whole wheat pastry flour
• 1⁄3 cup whole wheat flour
• 1⁄3 cup all-purpose flour
• 1  teaspoon baking soda
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 2  cups  chopped or diced apples (About 2 Apples, I leave skin on)
• 1  egg
• 1  egg white
• 1⁄2 cup sugar (more or less depending on the sweetness of the Apple)
• 1⁄4 cup unsweetened applesauce

• For topping

• 1⁄4 cup brown sugar
• 1  tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1  tablespoon whole wheat flour
• 1⁄2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1  tablespoon margarine (I use Smart Balance Light)
• 1⁄4 cup oats (or 1 granola bar, finely chopped)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. Using 'cake' part of ingredients: In a small bowl, stir the flours, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
3. Using a food processor, chop up the apples.
4. In a large bowl, combine apples, egg, egg white, sugar, and applesauce. Stir together until blended. Fold the dry ingredients to bowl, until combined.
5. Pour entire batter into a sprayed 9x9 (or 9-inch round) pan.
6. Using 'topping' ingredients: Stir together brown sugar, flours, cinnamon, and softened margarine. Then add in oats or granola and spread evenly on top of batter. NOTE: When I bake this, I use either a package (2 bars) of Nature Valley Oats 'n Honey granola, or Kashi crunchy Almond granola bars. I take the bars and run them through the food processor. Make a delicious and crunchy topping.
7. Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes, until toothpick comes out clean. Serve warm.
