Apple Crumb Coffee Cake - No Diets Allowed

Whether you’re wanting a crumbly, sweet breakfast or fluffy, moist lighter dessert, an apple coffee cake is your solution.  I rarely bake with refined sugar and have instead learned to bake with honey, applesauce, bananas, and other naturally sweet ingredients like in my banana muffins.  However, for the crumbly topping on this apple coffee cake recipe, I added some brown sugar… coffee cake always needs a little sugar.

I’m a HUGE fan of Bob’s Red Mill whole wheat pastry flour.  It’s the only flour I use.  It creates the most light and fluffy baked goods.  If you have not tried it, the time is now.  You won’t regret it!  I look forward to hearing your feedback on this apple crumble cake recipe.
