Love Cinnamon Rolls? Love Caramel Apples? Try combining them in one dish! Caramel Apple Cinnamon Roll Coffee Cake is perfect for your next brunch! And it’s easy to make!
I love making coffee cakes for breakfast! I have a Bible Study group that comes to my house once a week, and this group of ladies knows that there will be something delicious in my kitchen each morning. What better way to start our study than with a big slice of coffee cake, a hot cup of coffee and some laughter with friends!
Here’s the thing with this coffee cake. I based this recipe off of my love of this Cinnamon Cinnabon Coffee cake. Except of course I added in some delicious apples and topped it with a rich Caramel sauce.
To make the recipe even easier, I used Crunch Pak apples! Have you tried these? My kids love sliced apples, so the convenience of having these on hand when we are running out the door is a blessing. I don’t buy much convenience food (since I make enough treats around here), but I don’t mind spending money on healthy convenience food! I bought a bag of the sliced apples, took a paring knife to remove the skin and diced them up. No need to cook them, just toss them in when the recipe calls for it.
Did I mention this makes TWO coffee cakes? It freezes very well too. I have frozen this with the glaze and without. Just thaw on your counter or in the fridge. You can warm it up in your oven or microwave if you like to have a warm slice of cake. Totally YOUR call. Cause it’s YOUR cake.
My good friend Jocelyn, from Inside BruCrew Life loves Crunch Pak apples too! She is sharing a recipe for Apple Snickers Cake today! Stop over there and check it out (and tell her hello from me)!
Here are some of my other favorite Coffee Cake Recipes….
Cinnamon Cinnabon Coffee Cake: this baby gets made at least once a month in our home! We can’t get enough of how good it tastes!
Pumpkin Coffee Cake with Cinnamon Streusel: it doesn’t have to be Fall to enjoy this pumpkin breakfast cake. You will want this all year long!
Swedish Almond Cake: this one will get you begging for more! It’s not overly sweet, but the almond and lemon together bring such flavor to the cake you will wish for a second slice. This recipe comes together in just minutes too!
Strawberry Frosting Vanilla Bean Donuts: what’s coffee without a donut? These baked donuts are moist and delicious and the glaze will remind you of Dunkin Donuts strawberry glazed Donuts!

Thanks for linking up to my Blueberry Bread. I actually have a Cinnamon Roll Coffee Cake that I made in a springform pan not 2 cake pans, but with flavors similar to this one! I have an Apple bundt that I made when you hosted Apple week last fall, too! I love this whole flavor family. Beautiful, Aimee!

Nope! There is enough in the filling on top that it seeps through the entire cake!

I love how you are making cinnamon rolls into a coffee cake. Apple cake was probably one of the most frequent desserts my mom baked when I was growing up. So I absolutely love anything baked with apple.

Hi! I’m looking for your caramel apple truffle recipe, but all the links I’ve found just keep directing me here! I found a pin (http://pinterest.com/pin/197806608604534326/) for them, and they look fabulous, so I’d love the recipe!
I can’t seem to find it when I search your site, either
Unfortunately I took that recipe off my website temporarily. Several people had issues with it not setting up properly. I am working on remaking it and reposting it. Sorry for the inconvenience!!!

I’m just glad you took it down and I’m not crazy for not being able to find it! I’ll keep an eye out for the updated version. Thanks for the quick reply!
Hi Aimee! I recently made this coffee cake for my sister’s baby shower! I made one regular and one gluten free…I can only speak for the gluten free cake, but it was amazing!! I posted it with the gluten free adaptions over on my blog today.
Also, I just recently saw you on CincyBlogs…I’m a Cincinnati blogger, too!
