how to make Apple Pear Coffee Cake

Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup sour cream
1 and 1/4 cups chopped peeled apples
1/2 cup chopped peeled pear
1 cup packed brown sugar (for topping)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for topping)
2 tablespoons cold butter (for topping)
1/2 cup chopped pecans (for topping)

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 5 to 7 minutes.
Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract.
In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the creamed butter and sugar, alternating with the sour cream, until everything is well mixed.
Fold in the chopped apples and pear gently.
Pour the batter into a greased 13×9 inch baking dish.
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the chopped pecans.
Sprinkle this topping mixture over the batter in the baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow it to cool on a wire rack before serving.
