Apple Cinnamon Coffee Cake is a tender, spiced apple cake with a thread of cream cheese running through it and a nutty cinnamon pecan streusel sprinkled on top! It’s super tasty and perfect for fall.
Cinnamon and apples go together like chocolate and peanut butter. Some things were simply made to be paired and apple cinnamon flavor is one.

The cake is dense and moist with small chunks of apple. The cake is spiced with the warm flavors of nutmeg, cinnamon, and allspice which pair wonderfully with apples. Apple Cinnamon Coffee Cake has been on my favorite fall cake list for years.
And, let’s be real the streusel topping is really the star! That crunchy topping is my favorite. I could just eat the streusel topping. By the way, did I mention it has chopped pecans in it? The streusel makes this Apple Cinnamon Coffee Cake so don’t leave it off. It’s crunchy and buttery and just pure heaven!
There is nothing complicated for fussy about this recipe. However, there are three different mixes and steps. It comes together easily and bakes up beautifully. I do recommend reading through the recipe first before you start. As well, have all the ingredients out and measured before beginning.

After the warm spices start cooking and the wonderful aroma fills the air, the hardest part is waiting for the cake to cook!
This cake is phenomenal. It has a great texture and is packed with apples. As well, it’s gotten rave reviews from everyone who’s tried it.
Most importantly, don’t slice into the cake until it is completely cool. If the cream cheese layer is warm it will ooze out of the cake.
Finally, if you love apples as much as I do, you’ll love this collection of apple recipes I put together, Favorite Apple Recipes.
