Crumb Topped Apple Coffee Cake

This Crumb-Topped Apple Coffee Cake is perfect for fall! Greek yogurt and extra apples keep it moist and a crunchy crumb topping gives it extra decadence! There is just something about September, isn’t there? Cooler days (or at least evenings) get everyone in the mood for baking, and out come all of the apple and pumpkin baked goodies. There’s just nothing better! It’s Ashley here from The Recipe Rebel with one of our new favorites — this Apple Coffee Cake piled high with crumb topping. Personally, I think the crumb topping is the best part of any coffee cake, so it’s definitely not something to skimp on. It’s the perfect contrast to all of the juicy apples and moist Greek yogurt coffee cake! I love using plain Greek yogurt in my baked goods because it gives them such great flavor and keeps them from drying out — which makes this coffee cake an awesome make-ahead Sunday brunch or Thanksgiving dessert. You can definitely make it ahead of time and just keep it on the counter for a day or two without refrigerating! I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that you could swap the apples for whatever fruit you have extras of laying around the house — maybe peaches, or pears, berries, or another fall fruit, and it would be just as good! Just chop them up and stir them into the batter. In most of my baked goods (especially ones like this that I like to be able to call “breakfast”!), I like to use a combination of whole wheat and all purpose flour to bump up the protein and fiber. You can definitely stick to just all-purpose flour if that’s what you usually use! You shouldn’t notice any difference in taste or texture. I’d love to hear your favorite way to use up all those apples! Apple sauce, apple butter, baked goods? Crisps or cobblers? They’re all good in my books!
