    apple cinnamon coffee cake with cinnamon sugar topping

    It's finally Fall! And you know that means a ton of apple flavored dishes coming your way. Starting....with this apple cinnamon coffee cake! That is, of course, topped with a buttery cinnamon sugar streusel!!!

    Its so easy to make! This cake is full of fresh apple chunks, tons of cinnamon and other seasonal spices. It truly tastes like fall from your first bite! And is perfectly acceptable to eat for both breakfast and dessert, at least I think it is acceptable! How much better does it get??

    So Easy to Make!

    What I love about this apple coffee cake is that it is so easy to make!

    1. Cream together the butter and sugar
    2. Slowly add in the remaining wet ingredients: egg, vanilla extract, yogurt and all the Fall spices!
    3. Add in the dry ingredients. (Most recipes require the dry ingredients to be whisked separately but I've found that since I add in the spices with the wet and there's only baking soda and all purpose flour left its not necessary for that additional step.
    4. Fold in the apple chunks
    5. Make and top with the buttery, cinnamon sugar streusel.

    Here are some easy variations for you if you're looking to customize this apple cinnamon coffee cake:

    • Add-ins: If you're looking for more texture, add in chopped nuts or even shredded coconut
    • Don't have any apples on hand? Just leave them out, its still an amazing cinnamon coffee cake!
    • Or switch out the apples for another fruit! Pears are also delicious in this coffee cake, or try it out with blueberries!
    • Don't like those warm spices? Just omit the cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger, and call it an apple coffee cake.

    Really you can customize this coffee cake to your preference! Speaking of preference though, the real question is, what do you think this coffee cake is best enjoyed with a piping hot cup of chai or coffee??
