Cinnamon Apple Coffee Cake
Another favorite around here, especially because I use a cake mix in place of making it from scratch...fantastic to make up the day before & enjoy on a rushed morning or to take in to work, sunday school, or church to share.
One vanilla cake mix, prepared as directed before putting into baking pan
1 c firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 c flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 c butter
1 c Granny Smith apples, chopped (I peel them too)
Grease and flour a fluted tube pan (or plain if that is what you have).
Pour half of the cake batter into the pan.
Top with half of the crumb mixture (to make the crumb mixture, combine sugar, flour, cinnamon...cut in butter till crumbly, then stir in chopped up apple)
Top crumb mixture with remaining batter followed by the remainder of the crumb mixture.
Bake at 350 for 1 hour
Remove from oven, cool 5 min in pan before inverting on a plate to serve.
Let cool completely before slicing.
