I started by making the streusel topping.

I mixed the first 1 ½ cups of Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 Gluten Free flour blend with the brown sugar, cinnamon and salt with a fork.

Then I added the melted margarine to the bowl. 

I stirred until all ingredients were moistened.

Now I set this streusel topping mixture aside until I needed it.

Next I started combining the ingredients for the cake.

Using an electric mixer I beat the margarine and sugar together until they were light and fluffy.

I added the eggs one at a time beating after each addition.

Then I added the apple sauce, vanilla an ½ of the streusel topping mixture that I had set aside earlier.

Now I switched to a wooden spoon to blend the ingredients.

Next I measured in the second amount of flour, meringue powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

I stirred the liquid and dry ingredients together with a spoon until they were just blended.

Then I added the diced apples.

I folded the apples in with a wooden spoon.

I scraped the batter into a square cake pan that I had sprayed with cooking spray.

Then I sprinkled the batter with the last half of the streusel topping that I had set aside.

Now I put the cake in a 350F oven and baked it for 50-60 minutes or until a tooth pick inserted in the center came out clean.

I allowed the cake to cool completely in the pan.

This Gluten Free Apple Streusel Coffee Cake is a simple and delicious way to enjoy fresh apples in a comforting homemade dessert. With its tender cake, cinnamon-spiced apples, and sweet streusel topping, every bite is packed with classic fall flavour.

Serve this gluten free coffee cake for breakfast, brunch, dessert, or alongside your favourite hot beverage for a cozy afternoon treat. If you love easy gluten free baking recipes featuring apples, be sure to add this one to your collection!
