If I can’t have this cake fresh out of the oven, it doesn’t hurt to toss it in the microwave to warm up for a few seconds. For some reason, it just tastes so much better warm. When we have leftovers I’ll pair it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Wow! I seriously cannot get enough of this yummy coffee cake. It’s the best! Check out what they are saying about this recipe over at Recipe Girl:
In this light and tender coffee cake, the cream cheese imparts a slightly rich flavor, and the cinnamon apples on top make it worthy of serving up for a special Sunday Morning Breakfast.
Who wouldn’t love to eat apple pie for breakfast!?! I know we always scrape the pan clean at my house. It’s great for when guests come over to serve at any time, too!
