Apple Crisp Coffee Cake

This Apple crisp Coffee Cake combines everything you love about apple crisp and classic coffee cake in one irresistible breakfast treat. A moist sour cream-based coffee cake is topped with Granny Smith apples, a buttery pecan streusel and a warm brown sugar glaze.

It’s perfect for fall brunches, holiday breakfasts, or an afternoon coffee break, and since it’s baked in a 9×13-inch pan, it’s ideal for feeding a crowd. Every fall morning should be started this way.

Cindy Said:

My husband requested an apple dessert. This fit the bill! He can’t stop raving about it. It’s really good. Thank you for sharing.

Lots of chopped pecans in the topping give the coffee cake a buttery crunch.

Type Of Apple To Use

I like to use a tart apple, like Granny Smith, to get a nice contrast with the sweet crumb topping and brown sugar glaze. Or use a mixture of Granny Smith and an apple like Honeycrisp which is a little sweeter and softer. Pink Lady or Braeburn also work well. Avoid softer apples like Red Delicious which can become mushy when baked.

Recipe Tips

• Dice the apples into small, even pieces so they cook evenly.
• Don’t overmix the batter or the cake can become dense.
• Use room temperature eggs and sour cream.

Money-Saving Tips

• Buy apples by the bag instead of individually.
• Purchase pecans during holiday sales and freeze extra.
• Store-brand sour cream works perfectly well for this recipe.
• Don’t waste any. Freeze extra to eat at a later date.

Storage

Store covered at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerate for 5 days. Warm individual slices in the microwave for 10 to 15 seconds.

Freezing- Freeze slices individually for up to 3 months. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap followed by foil and thaw overnight in the refrigerator.

Some ground cinnamon gives plenty of fall flavor. You could top it with vanilla ice cream and serve it for dessert. Warm of course.

The wonderful scents coming from the oven as this coffee cake bakes……….Bonus Points.

Fall baking is so heavenly!
