Apple crumb coffee cake made with Greek yogurt, cinnamon and lots of apples! Top it with the caramel sauce. Perfect for breakfast and dessert! This is a very basic everyday cake I’ve been making a lot lately. Just a good simple apple crumb coffee cake. I drizzle it with the caramel sauce (or dulce de leche), but it doesn’t have to be – it’s good on its own.
This cake has a lot of “crumb” on top, which makes it very special and delicious. It also has lots of apples, which makes the cake very moist longer, and keeps this apple crumb coffee cake as fresh and moist a week later as on the first day!
