FOR THE COFFEE CAKE:
1/2 cups Walnuts, Chopped
1 Granny Smith Apple, Peeled, Cored, And Sliced Thinly
6 pieces Bacon, Cooked Crisply And Crumbled
1/2 cups Brown Sugar, Firmly Packed
1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
1 stick Butter, Plus More For Greasing
1 cup Sugar
3 Large Eggs, Slightly Beaten
1 cup Sour Cream
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1/2 pounds, 2 ounces, weight Gluten Free Flour Blend (or 2 Cups Wheat Flour)
1/2 teaspoons Salt
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
2 teaspoons Xanthan Gum (Only If Using Gluten-free Flour Mix)
FOR THE MAPLE GLAZE:
1 cup Powdered Sugar
1 Tablespoon Milk
1/2 Tablespoons Butter, Melted
1/2 Tablespoons Strong Brewed Coffee
1/4 teaspoons Imitation Maple Flavor
1 pinch Salt

1
Butter a square glass pan and preheat oven to 350u00b0F.
2
Chop walnuts and peel, core, and thinly slice the apple. Set aside.
3
Fry bacon until crisp. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate and crumble. Set aside.
4
In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and cinnamon and set aside.
5
In the bowl of a stand mixer, mix butter and granulated sugar on low until fluffy. Add beaten eggs in slowly until incorporated. Do the same with the sour cream and vanilla.
6
In a separate medium size bowl, measure out flour. (If you're using regular wheat flour you will need 2 cups. If you're using anything else, you must measure by weight. Every gluten free flour has a different mass per cup so substituting by volume will not work.) Add in salt, baking powder, baking soda, and xanthan gum (if using). Whisk together thoroughly.
7
With mixer on low speed, add dry ingredients to wet slowly until incorporated.
8
Spread half the batter in the pan. Arrange half the apple slices on top and sprinkle with 2/3 of the brown sugar/cinnamon mixture. Repeat.
9
Top with chopped walnuts and bacon. Bake for 50 minutes to an hour or until a knife stuck in the middle comes out clean.
10
Whisk together all the ingredients for the maple glaze and drizzle over the top of the hot cake.
11
Cool and serve.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
