    Chunky, soft bits of apple mixed throughout a moist, light, and fluffy cake; finished off with a crumb topping. This Apple Cinnamon Crumb Cake makes the perfect breakfast, snack, or sweet treat!!

    moist, flavorful cake with a cinnamon crumb topping and apple bits throughout

    A few weeks ago, I turned the big 3-1! My birthday this year conveniently landed on a Saturday, so the kids and hubby were home in the morning to start off my day! My hubby offered to make me a special breakfast and who was I to turn that down, right? I requested a coffee cake and he whipped this amazing treat together in no time! Even my kids helped!!One bite in, I knew, this was a winner.

    The cake is incredibly moist, light, and fluffy. Packed with flavor too! The apple chunks paired with the crumb topping had each of us going back for a second slice!

    I enjoyed mine with a warm cup of coffee, however, I think this would be just as yummy if served with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream in the evening, or as a sweet treat if you have friends/family over one morning/afternoon.

    all the fall flavors come together in this apple cinnamon cake

    With Fall season heading our way (unless you live in Houston, TX like I do and have to pretend), this cake is the perfect way to celebrate the season changing! Put a sweater on, turn down the a/c if its still warm outside, and enjoy a slice of cake while looking at the leaves changing!

    Check out these other Fall favorite recipes:

    Copycat Starbucks Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins

    Apple Fritter Bread

    Apple Cider Donuts

    This apple cinnamon crumb cake is a change from all the pumpkin recipes everywhere, but just as Fall friendly! Now, don’t be overwhelmed when you see all the ingredients listed below, trust me, it looks much more complicated than it really is, and it is soooooo worth it!!

    From my hubby to you all, enjoy!!
