FRUIT TOPPED STREUSEL COFFEE CAKE. A delicious buttery coffee cake topped with sweet fruit pie filling and a crunchy cinnamon brown sugar almond & oat streusel.I found this recipe attached to my new Wilton 9″ square baking pan. I had to purchase a new pan because I had scratched the heck out of my old one by using the wrong scrub sponge. It was one of those regretful, silly mistakes. But hey, something positive came from my stupidity, this awesome recipe.

The pie filling adds a perfect balance of sweetness and fruitiness to the dessert, but the best part is the cinnamon brown sugar streusel on top. This coffee cake is made up of layers upon layers of different and wonderful flavors and textures. You have the soft, spongy cake layer on the bottom, followed by a sweet fruit jam in between, and finished off with a crunchy, almond oat streusel topping.

To save some calories, I decided to substitute half a cup of butter with half a cup of Greek yogurt because I thought 4 eggs and one cup of butter was a little too rich. I also reduced the amount of sugar because I knew pie filling would be plenty sweet. I used sliced almonds instead of pecans in the streusel because I thought the shape and texture would match the old fashioned oats better. And finally, the original recipe is a cherry streusel coffee cake, but I’m not a fan of cherry pie filling so I used strawberry instead.

Please note this recipe is for a 9×9 inch square pan and my cake rose right to the top while it was baking, so if you’re using an 8×8 inch pan, remove about 1 cup of batter and 1/2 a cup of pie filling so it doesn’t overflow.

    Lily do you have another idea for topping this cake, I really like the coffee cake, but family aren’t fans of either pie filling or that crunchy topping.

    I think I’d scratch my baking pan as well, Lily – so I’d have a good reason to buy one. 😀
    Anyway, glad you had a new one and this made you make this delicious cake and share it with us. 😀

    Just wonderful Lily…..welcome to Fiesta Friday and thank you for your lovely addition. The cake really does look so moist, I like the addition of greek yogurt, I’m sure that added to the moistness. The streusel topping just made it. Beautiful addition to our party! Enjoy your weekend.

    Yummy…a delicious, “silver lining” reward in scratching up an old pan, Lily. 🙂 I’m a huge fan of coffee cakes in general, but this strawberry and streusel one sounds exceptionally good. Thanks for sharing it with all of the Fiesta Friday participants! <3
