If you’ve only ever made apple coffee cake with regular white flour and a mild, everyday apple, prepare to taste the difference. This Einkorn Apple Coffee Cake is intensely flavorful, thanks to Bluebird Grain Farms’ Einkorn Baking Mix, an ancient grain with a naturally sweet, nutty character that makes modern refined flour taste flat by comparison. Einkorn adds richness and depth to every bite, creating a coffee cake that feels wholesome, aromatic, and genuinely homemade.

The apple flavor is even more extraordinary. At Chelan Ranch, our freeze-dried apples are made from perfectly ripe organic Honeycrisp apples, a variety already known for its bold, bright flavor when fresh. Freeze-drying intensifies that natural Honeycrisp sweetness and tartness, creating a pure, concentrated apple flavor you can’t get from a bland baking apple. When reconstituted and folded into the batter, the apples soften into juicy, flavorful bites, while the crushed freeze-dried pieces in the crumb topping add even more apple intensity.

With toasted pecans for crunch and warm cinnamon running through the cake, this is the kind of bake that’s just as delicious with a cup of coffee in the morning as it is with tea in the afternoon. If you’re looking for an apple coffee cake that’s easy to make yet tastes elevated and packed with real apple flavor, this Einkorn Apple Coffee Cake is the recipe you’ll come back to again and again.
