"A delicious apple coffeecake with cinnamon brown sugar crumb is exceptionally flavorful and moist. Top this with the crumb and a frosted glaze to send this over the edge for comfort food. This is the perfect fall recipe to use those fresh picked apples with. Having that perfect fruit almost forces us to bake delicious goodies. This is one of those cakes that has to be made at least once in the fall.Enjoy a piece of apple coffee cake for snacking, breakfast, or dessert.My daughter and husband like the coffeecake warm. Sometimes, they will eat the cake with ice cream. Other times, it is a quick snack and they are off again. While it is delicious that way, it can also be wonderful served cold too."

NotesWhile Granny Smith Apples are great with their tartness for this recipe. I am not particular when it comes to what kind of apple to use with this apple coffeecake recipe. Any type of apple that you like would really be wonderful in this recipe. While I often make this recipe in the fall when the apples are freshly picked. Now a days apples are available year-round in the stores. Purchase a hand full anytime of the year and make this delicious Apple Coffeecake with Cinnamon Brown Sugar Crumb…and a bit of icing glaze anytime you are in the mood for a homemade snack.
