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.

I really want to make this but I only have a can of Apple pie filling. Will this work in place of real apples? If not do you have a recipe that canned apples will work in.?
Hi Kolene!
I think with this recipe you could do that. I might not use the whole can of them but use your judgement. Hope you enjoy!

I am looking for a recipe for pineapple cheese Danish or coffee cake. I am retired and go to this bakery which sells the best pineapple cheese Danish I have ever had. The drawback is that they are very expensive. So I would like to try and make my own if I can find a recipe. Thank You
Hi Jeff, if I wanted to make an easy, yet cheap danish to make, I would do this Lemon Cream Cheese Crescent. It’s easy as well. Just substitute some drained crushed pineapple for the lemon and lemon peel. I would also increase the cream cheese and make it 8 oz. If you are looking for a coffee cake, I would try this Strawberry Cream Cheese Coffee Cake and replace the strawberries with crushed pineapple. Both should be amazing! Of course if you used this recipe here for the apple crumb cheese coffee cake, again just replace the apples with crushed pineapple. 🙂
