The Best Caramel Apple Coffee Cake Recipe

This Caramel Apple Coffee Cake will become a new favorite to bake up in the Fall, loaded with all the flavors you love when the seasons start to change!

Easy Apple Coffee Cake with Caramel Drizzle

Fall is in full swing and Thanksgiving has just finished for us in Canada, which meant a ton of baking and trying new things in my kitchen! I decided I wanted to use apples (one because they are in season, and two because APPLES) in my dessert and knew of course that any old cake recipe wasn’t going to do.

I thought taking my Coffee Cake Recipe and adding a twist would be perfect, so that is what I did! I introduce to you my delicious Caramel Apple Coffee Cake :

Fall Baking

This Apple Coffee Cake is truly a Fall dessert worthy of your Holiday table. It is full of spice, chopped walnuts and pieces of Honey Crisp apples and then topped with a streusel.

BUT that’s not all, we then took it one step further and created a Homemade Caramel Sauce  to drizzle over the top, taking this from a classic coffee cake recipe to a decadent dessert that can be enjoyed on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream just like an apple pie!

Ingredients

• Butter 
• Eggs
• Flour AP
• Granulated Sugar
• Vanilla
• Baking Powder
• Honey Crisp Apples
• Milk
• pinch Kosher Salt
• Chopped Walnuts
• Apple Pie Spice
• Caramel Sauce

If you have been looking for a moist coffee cake recipe look no further my friends. The batter of this cake reminds me of an apple fritter, perfectly moist and spiced with little pockets of crunch from the walnuts and apple chunks.

I am telling you this will be devoured by anyone who tries it! Thank goodness we made 3 smaller loaves so we could dig in before sharing with our family.

Variations

There are a couple of options for the caramel sauce, we chose to make our own as it is super easy and tastes better than anything you will get at the store! However, you can choose to use your favorite store brand and drizzle along the top when the cake has cooled.

For the type of apple you use we prefer a good Honeycrisp as it is fantastic for baking and has the perfect mix of sweet and tart, but you can easily sub this out for another apple variety you prefer. Just be sure to choose one that will hold up well to baking like Fuji, Gala, Honey Gold, Cortland or Granny Smith!

Don’t have any Apple Pie Spice on hand? You can make your own at home by combining 2 parts cinnamon to 1 part nutmeg and a pinch of allspice. Be sure to keep it in a tightly sealed jar or container so you have it for other treats like French Toast, Pancakes and anything else your apple pie loving heart desires!

Every kitchen needs a good vegetable peeler and that is especially true for making this delicious cake! I prefer a peeler that isn’t open on one side – there have been too many slips in this house when peeling potatoes, carrots, apples…you name it!
