Sunday Morning Apple Coffee Cake

Last update: July 19, 2016 By Alice Currah 20 Comments

We love Sunday mornings around here. It is truly the only day of the week most everyone sleeps in. My son however has not learned the “sleeping in” on Sunday ritual. So when he gets up, I get up. I start the day making myself a cup of coffee and start baking. This morning I decided to bake an apple coffee cake. I love this recipe because it is not overly sweet and the warm apple slices baked inside shout “this cake is made with love” in every bite.  And the scent of cinnamon and warm apples that permeates throughout the house is Divine.  Ask my family, they love waking up to the smell of scratch baking at its finest.

The first time I tried this cake was 10 years ago at a Womens’ Retreat and it is one of my most favorite and beloved coffee cakes. Everyone who tries it loves it and asks for the recipe. So if you ever find yourself waking up early on a Sunday morning, make yourself a cup of tea or coffee and bake this cake. I swear on Rose Levy Beranbaum’s “Cake Bible”, you will love this. It may even become your favorite new coffee cake.

    You can use the light olive oil & it is fine. This what I always use for baking.

    Hi, I found your blog when I searched for a kettle corn recipe. I love this coffee cake recipe – it looks yummy, filling, and easy. Do you think you can freeze the cake for later? Making 15-20 pieces is way too much for me. Thanks, Tamara

    Corinna,
    I’m not sure since I have never baked with Olive oil. Sorry. 🙁

    Married to an Italian, I always have olive oil in the kitchen, but rarely veggie oil. Will that spoil this recipe?

    Best coffee cake I’ve had in years! Reminds my of my childhood in rural Connecticut. Fruit desserts are my favorite. I’m going to try the same batter and layering technique with other fruit, like rhubard, plums and pears. Thank you!

    You know what I really love about this cake?, it reminds me of my neighbor named Alice, whom I was named after. She would make a very similar cake using the apples from her tree. She was the best little old lady baker ever.

    Ooh – this looks delicious! I wish I could bake all day every day! Coffee and sweets and I am happy – not so good for my waistline, though.

    This is a real winner, a great smell and a wee bit bitterness taste of delicious coffee comes with a tangy fruity taste of cooked apple, so creative one!
