OMG Apple Crumb Cream Cheese Coffee Cake.
I went there…and OMG….I’m crushing so hard right now on this coffee cake!
Enjoy a delectable cream cheese filling, cinnamon and baked apple slices throughout this buttery, lush coffee cake with the yummiest brown sugar crumb topping on top.
Can you imagine?
It’s addictive.
(LOL! Yea, and why wouldn’t it be? It has cream cheese in it! Everyone loves cream cheese in everything, so it’s going to be addictive! Apples and cinnamon make it even better! )
Plus, it’s one of those desserts that you could enjoy any time of the day.
It’s really nice to have on hand when entertaining guests for breakfast, brunch, snack time or after dinner as dessert.
So, if you’ve ever tried the Awesome Country Apple Fritter Bread, this coffee cake is a spin off of that.
It’s such a Fall classic and one of my favorite quick breads ever, so I wanted to incorporate it into a coffee cake with the additions of cream cheese and brown sugar crumble topping.
It worked out beautifully!
So, pour some coffee and slice yourself some heaven.
