Apple Coffee Cake Recipe

Of all apple cake recipes, this is my favorite apple coffee cake recipe with its freshly cooked apples and streusel or crumb topping.

It is also very good with a little whipping cream on top or vanilla ice cream on the side, but it is also excellent eating by itself.

I bake this coffee cake easy recipe a lot, especially during the winter months.

Hopefully you will enjoy it too.
