This Caramel Apple Coffee Cake is the perfect apple recipe for breakfast or dessert.
Whenever we go to the apple orchard in the fall we always make it a point to get a caramel apple. So, when I saw this recipe in one of my favorite cookbooks (a fundraiser cookbook with recipes from dairy farmers across Indiana) I just knew I had to try it!
This recipe is a combination between a coffee cake and a poke cake. You pork holes in the cake just like you would a poke cake and pour the caramel topping over the top.
Caramel Apple Coffee Cake
This cake is pretty simple to make. I love the apple and pecan combination but if you are like my husband and don’t like nuts you can leave them out. Feel free to use whatever kind of apples you have on hand but a baking apple would be best. My friend Stacy has a great post that explains the different varieties of apples and what they can be used for.
