Apple Coffee Cake Recipe
Fall is here, and that means apple season is in full swing! The cool weather and colorful leaves are the perfect backdrop for enjoying the crisp, juicy apples that are now at their peak. If you’re looking for a cozy way to make the most of apple season, baking an old fashioned apple coffee cake is a must. There’s nothing like a good coffee cake to start the morning, apart from my other favorites, Apple Cinnamon Bread and crumbly Apple Tart. Imagine the smell of cinnamon and baked apples filling your kitchen—it’s like a warm, autumn hug in every bite. This apple coffee cake is super easy to make and perfect for sharing with family and friends. Whether you’re enjoying it with a cup of coffee in the morning or as an afternoon treat, it’s a delicious way to celebrate the season and make your home feel extra cozy. So, grab some apples and get baking—you won’t regret it! And don’t forget, you can also use that abundant apple supply to make a fantastic Apple Crisp!
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
The juices from the apples help keep the cake moist, even after a few days. The tartness of the apples provides a great balance with the sugar and cinnamon. The cake is just a little over an inch thick, with the cinnamon and brown sugar sprinkled on top to create a sweet, crunchy crust. It’s easy to customize with your favorite spices or add-ins, making it a versatile treat that always hits the spot.
