Unbelievably moist and loaded with apples, plenty of streusel, and glaze, you’ll definitely savor every last crumb of this ultimate fall coffee cake!
So I’ve basically got all your fall dreams wrapped up into one pretty little piece of coffee cake today.
Streusel and glaze and APPLES, guys! YEA! It’s time, my apple-lover friends. ♥
I mean, we’re obviously ALL apple-lovers around here, right?? You basically CANNOT even live in the season of fall without having some of obsession with apples.
Mine runs along the slightly-high lines. Clearly…
I’m honestly 100% obsessed with this coffee cake. Every little part of it. Oh, where the HECK do I even begin?? The ultra-moist, so-so soft interior? The glorious little chunks of soft apples ‘n’ spice in every bite? Perhaps the cinnamon-y buttery streusel? The slightly-ridiculous creamy peanut butter glaze adorning every inch?
Can we just have a moment of silence and respect for such coffee cake mastery?
Now that we’ve basked in the glory of this coffee cake for a solid moment, we should probably start planning on making it. Does now sound good to you? The longer you wait, the more drool accumulates on your keyboard…
Or in my case…crumbs. Sorry, I’m eating the last precious piece of coffee cake as we speak.
Okay, guys. First things first: Do NOT let the seemingly-overwhelming ingredient list scare you. Remember, that there ARE three parts to this coffee cake: Cake, streusel, glaze. A lot of the ingredients are just repeated throughout these three parts, so don’t stress that you won’t have all of the ingredients on hand.
I’d be willing to bet all the chocolate in the world (or at least all the chocolate stashed in my secret cupboard—don’t ask) that you have everything on hand to make this coffee cake. Like today. And like right this second.
The cake is just a simple, classic sour cream coffee cake with tons of gorgeous little apple cubes hiding in among all the extra-soft, buttery, so-darn awesome crumb.
Simple stuff like this is just begging for a dumping of streusel, no? Let’s fix that now.
Like THIS —> Extra-cinnamon-y streusel by the truckload = perfect.
A quick trip to the oven for 40-ish minutes…and in the meantime, more or less ALL the smells of fall will fill every corner of your house. ♥
Then we GLAZE. With a lick-the-bowl kinda-good peanut butter icing. Oh, looooordy…
Shortly afterwards said glaze is heavily applied and all our coffee cake dreams have come true…
It’s time for a faceplant. Forks are optional at this point. 😉
Yes, you may eat the entire thing, but seriously: WHY NOT??
I recommend investing in several heavy-duty pairs of stretchy pants this fall, guys.There are only more prodigious fall goodies yet to come and the madness has only BEGUN. ♥
