- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 egg, plus 2 egg yolks
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup warm water
Icing
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1-2 tbsp milk
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Topping
- 3 large Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and cut into thin slices
- 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg, ground
- 1/8 tsp Ground Allspice
- 1/2 tsp lemon peel
- 1/4 tsp Ground Cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp lemon juice
- 1-2 tbsp honey
- 1/2 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 cup sugar
Directions
- For dough: Heat milk, water and butter in small saucepan until the butter melts. Remove from heat and set aside until the mixture cools to between 120 to 130°F. Beat the milk mixture, sugar, egg and yolks, salt, yeast and 2 cups of flour in a large bowl with electric mixer at low speed for 2 minutes
- Add enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Turn dough onto lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic about 6 to 8 minutes. Place in greased bowl; turn greased side up. Cover and let rise in a warm, draft-free place about 1-1/2 hours
- Punch dough down. Press into greased 12 or 14-inch pizza pan (with sides). Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled, 1-1/2 to 2 hours
- Preheat oven to 350°F
- For topping: toss apple slices with lemon juice and peel in a large bowl. Combine the sugar and spices in a small bowl. Lightly brush dough with 1 to 2 tablespoons of honey, leaving 1/2-inch border around the edge. Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs on top of honey. Arrange apple slices on coffeecake. Top with sugar mixture
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Cool for 30 minutes
- Mix all icing ingredients together until smooth, adding enough milk for desired consistency. Drizzle over coffeecake.
