Apple Crisp Coffee Cake

 

A moist and flavorful coffee cake studded with fresh apple chunks and with a crumb topping and brown sugar glaze. Every fall morning should be started this way.

Baked in a 9×13-inch pan, this Apple Crisp Coffee Cake is large enough to feed several large families.

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

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.

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!

  1. This was absolutely amazing!! My husband and kids aren’t big fans of apple pie like myself, yet absolutely loved this! I will definitely be making this monthly.

  2. This is one of the best Apple dessert! I feed a group of farmers at noon and it was given a definite “keeper” status!!

  3. Delicious! My family loved it and also the ladies at my Bible study. I left off the glaze to reduce sugar a bit – still so yummy. Thank you!

  4. This is a keeper! One word of caution – don’t overcook the glaze – just until melted otherwise you will get a sticky candy type glaze which is very hard on the teeth! Adding more apples and more cinnamon was good for us.

    1. Hello, this sounds delicious!
      But is there a substitute you could suggest for the nuts?
      We have allergies in our family to nuts.
      Thank you!

  5. Excellent. Great flavor although I didn’t add cinnamon in batter since it’s not listed in the dry ingredients. I made editing correction on my recipe card. Thanks!😀

    Love it. Added some rum and Grande Marnier to the glaze. Spectacular!
    Made it for the Bake Sale on the Death Star. It was a big hit.

  7. I made this recipe exactly as written, but I added more apples, only because I had several really small apples that needed to be used. It turned out perfectly! It was so, so good! My family really enjoyed this recipe! I will definitely make this recipe again!
