Paleo Apple Cinnamon Coffee Cake

Moist cake is packed with apple cider flavor and topped with a cinnamon apple crumb topping! Try my paleo cranberry coffee cake next. 

I’m not going to talk your ear off today. Wait… type your eyes off? Regardless, I’m not going to mutilate you in the name of story telling.

Truth be told I’m exhausted because I’ve caught the cold that Bill’s been fighting off for over a week now (shakes fist), I’ve been plowing through a big backlog of blog work I need to get done for the holidays and the cold weather just has me all sleepy. 

Storing apple coffee cake

This coffee cake is based on this cranberry coffee cake I made last month, and I can’t pick a favorite. This one is more moist thanks to the addition of apple cider, but that also means it doesn’t last as long in storage.

This is best the same day or the next, but I wouldn’t advise keeping it longer than that.

As far as I’m concerned, that makes it the perfect breakfast for when you know you’ll have a crowd! Christmas morning, brunch, or just a few people with really big appetites.

So take a slice (or two, I won’t tell) and pair it with your morning tea or coffee. If you’re not paleo, whip yourself up a little vanilla glaze and drizzle it on top – it gives it a little somethin’ somethin’.
