OMG Apple Crumb Cream Cheese 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! I went there. and OMG. I’m crushing so hard right now on this coffee cake!

Can you imagine? It’s addictive and soooo luscious! LOL! Yea, and why wouldn’t it be? It has swirls of cream cheese in luscious coffee cake!

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.

This is one dessert that is really nice to have on hand when entertaining out-of-town guests for breakfast, brunch, snack time or after dinner as dessert. Weekends are always acceptable!

Consequently, 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!

Our scrumptious Apple Cream Cheese Coffee Cake has a layer of cream cheese filling and a sweet, crunchy streusel topping. It’s perfect served for breakfast or brunch with a cup of coffee (or hot chocolate!).

Are you someone who eats breakfast in the morning? Do you like coffee? Why am I asking.

When people think of coffee cake they think of breakfast. And the name of the recipe may imply that it has coffee in it. Would you agree?

I love breakfast food but not necessarily in the morning (I’m weird – I don’t like to eat a lot in the morning). And I don’t like coffee either! Can anyone else relate? It’s ok…I’m usually pretty alone on the “not liking coffee” front.🤷

Well, there are a few reasons why this recipe is a win-win for absolutely everyone…

Apple Cream Cheese Coffee Cake is perfect for a real breakfast lover, for brunch, or even as breakfast for dinner. Actually, it can also be a great dessert choice as well (my personal fav!)

It’s PERFECT for apple season in the fall (but you could make it ANY TIME of the year!)

And you don’t have to serve it with coffee (nor is coffee IN it). I personally love it with some hot chocolate or hot tea!

My family has definitely added this coffee cake recipe to our “breakfast for dinner” menu. 🙂

Apple Cream Cheese Coffee Cake Recipe Notes And Tips

• Granny Smith, Ginger Gold or Crispin are all varieties of green apples. Granny Smith is the most commonly known and used and probably the easiest to find.

• Cake flour could be used in place of regular flour. It will help create a lighter, fluffier cake.

• If you forget to set out the cream cheese so that it is room temperature, simply place it on a microwaveable bowl or plate and microwave in 15 second intervals until it is the right texture.

• Mascarpone cheese can be used in place of cream cheese. It is a little softer and richer and can be used in a lot of the same things as cream cheese.

Variations To Try

• Add some chopped pecans, almonds or walnuts to the streusel topping for some crunch and delicious nutty flavor.

• Lightly drizzle some caramel on the top of the coffee cake before serving. If you love caramel as much as I do, you might want to put more than a little on top. 😂

• Coconut would be a yummy addition to the streusel. Add as little or as much as you desire.

FAQs

How will I know when my Apple Cream Cheese Coffee Cake is done?

The cake will feel springy when you press gently in the middle. You can also insert a toothpick in the middle making sure it comes out clean.

If the crumble on the top starts to get a little too brown before the cake is done, you can make a tent with aluminum foil and place it loosely on the top.

Does my Apple Coffee Cake need to be refrigerated?

Yes, you do need to keep this Apple Cream Cheese Coffee Cake refrigerated. You should store the cake in an air-tight container for up to 4 – 5 days in the fridge.

Can I freeze the Apple Cream Cheese Coffee Cake?

This coffee cake will freeze nicely. You can freeze it for up to 5 weeks in a freezer-safe, air-tight container.

Is coffee an ingredient in this Apple Cream Cheese Coffee Cake?

Nope! The name actually comes from the fact that it is generally served with coffee – not that coffee is one of the ingredients. A coffee cake can have coffee in it but more often than not there is none.
