Apple Cinnamon Coffee Cake

This recipe for applesauce cake is all ready for a coffee break, dessert for dinner, or a wonderful addition to a brunch. You're sure to find your own unique ways to add this Apple Cinnamon Coffee Cake to your repertoire.

Our apple coffee cake recipe can be drizzled with just a glaze, frosted from top to bottom, or as I prefer, topped with just thinned-down Cream Cheese Frosting.

• Heat oven to 350°F; grease and flour a 12-cup bundt pan.


• Beat butter and sugar in a large bowl on medium speed of electric mixer until light and well blended


• Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract, and mix in the applesauce.


• Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt in another bowl.


• Gradually add the dry mixture to the butter-sugar mixture, making sure they are well blended.


• Stir in the chips and chopped pecans.


• Put batter into your prepared bundt pan, and bake in the preheated oven for about 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle part, between the wall and tube of the pan, comes out clean.


• Be careful to notice if the toothpick may just have hit one of the soft centers of a cinnamon chip and not the batter. The toothpick should be free of cake batter.

• You could make a simple glaze with about 3/4 cup of powdered sugar and 1 to 2 teaspoons of water or milk.
• I had a bit of cream cheese frosting left over from another project, so I thinned that down a bit and used it for my topping, sprinkled with some chips.
• I prefer more of a frosting than a glaze. If you feel the same, please see our Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe. This recipe is enough to frost the whole cake, but if you just want a topping, you could cut the recipe down some. I always seem to find plenty of ways to use any that's left over, however.
