Recipe for Apple Coffee Cake

By Courtney

Ease into autumn with this particular buttery coffee cake studded with oranges and completed with a crunchy cinnamon crumb topping.

Today once I wandered from door the atmosphere felt…different. I became using shorts and a T-shirt although I wasn’t uncomfortably cold, anything made me personally operate straight back in and grab a sweatshirt. Sliding into a fleecy hooded sweatshirt simply felt appropriate.

It’s the period, buddies. And I think I’m finally ready.

As proof, I broke out of the first apple baked items of the period. While the days continue to be instead hot around these parts, the mornings are cool and sharp. It’s the type of weather condition that begs for some thing just a little cozier than a bowl of cereal, something like this Apple Crumb Coffee Cake.

Warm, sweet, and gently spiced this really is simply the thing to help ease you into autumn. It’s perhaps not awesome in-your-face with the Autumn-ness. There’s no brazen pumpkin spice, no overpowering fragrance of cloves, and definitely no sign at Halloween. As an alternative there’s the delicate fragrance of cinnamon, a hint of nutmeg, plus the just-barely-there crunch of apples. It’s Autumn goodness, but in a super chill, non-confrontational method.

I’m planning reduce towards the chase here. This Apple Crumb Cake is a reason to consume dessert for breakfast. This is certainly nothing brand-new, naturally. We’ve been picking out how to consume dessert for breakfast for years and years. Pancakes, waffles, muffins. They’re all dessert, people.

But of all cake-for-breakfast incarnations around, the coffee cake did the worst job at concealing it’s dessert-ness. I could think of the recipe development meeting now.

Man # 1: Hmmmmm….pancakes appear to be popular and we were able to slip muffins through, but we absolutely need one other way for eating cake for morning meal.

Guy number 2: I Am Aware! Let’s see…imagine if we made a dessert, topped it with a buttery crumble after which drizzled it with sugar syrup! That completely helps it be breakfast, right?

Guy # 1: By golly, i believe you’re on to some thing. Appears like an ideal accompaniment to a cup of coffee. Actually, i do believe we’ll call it Coffee Cake!

Which’s how we’ve been appreciating dessert for breakfast these many years.

I’m not gonna try to convince you this is healthy. it is maybe not. It’s buttery dessert topped with buttery crumble topped with cider-spiked glaze….with a little bit of fresh fruit at the center. Simply put, it's darn tasty.
