Can you imagine? This apple crumb coffee cake is 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!
