This apple coffee cake recipe makes for an especially sweet and unique breakfast.
Are you a coffee cake fan? I know I am. How can you not enjoy the idea of cake for breakfast?
Yet, for some reason, coffee cake seems to have fallen out of favor with the breakfast crowd, being replaced by homemade doughnuts and new ways to serve eggs.
You don’t need to give up the eggs, but coffee cake is an excellent way to round out any breakfast or brunch (and don’t forget snack time).
This recipe has the flavors of Dutch apple pie – a crunchy streusel topping combined with spiced apple pie filling that makes for a moist and tender cake.
Brew up a pot of coffee and get ready to linger over breakfast.
