Caramel Apple Coffeecake
This Caramel Apple Coffeecake would make a great addition to a fall brunch with your family!
So, I have decided that I am done with Summer.
Seriously, it’s disgusting.
Do you want to know how hot it was today? 105, that’s what.
How is that even real life? It’s September. And hello, I live in a normal town, NOT the desert.
Since I’m not a wizard and have no control over temperature and things, I have decided to just move on with Fall and and stay inside where I can keep my shades closed and pretend that the weather is however I want.
What?
That’s not weird.
To get a head start on Fall (yes people…FALL. This is happening), I have teamed up with my BFF Shelly to bring you a whole week of Caramel Apple themed treats.
Yay for Fall desserts!! Go die in a fire, stupid Summer!!
You want in on this, right?
(You don’t have to lie to kick it)
P.S. — Saying “You don’t have to lie to kick it” isn’t really cool anymore, but I’ve decided to bring it back.
Ingredients
- 1 stick butter (I used salted)
- 1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cups peeled, cored, and diced Granny Smith apples (about 2 large apples)
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 4 tablespoons softened butter
- 1/2 (11 oz) bag caramel bits
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease a 9x13 pan or spray with nonstick cooking spray. set aside.
- In the bowl of a mixer, cream butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy -- about a minute. Add the eggs one at a time, beating after each. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, and salt. Add to the butter mixture with the mixer on low, alternating with the sour cream, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Add the vanilla and then turn of the mixer and fold in the apples. Spread in the prepared baking dish evenly.
- In a medium bowl, combine the sugar, flour and cinnamon. Add the butter, but into small pieces and crumble in your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle evenly over the top of the cake and bake until set in the middle, about 35 - 40 minutes. Remove from oven and cool for about 20 minutes.
- Melt the caramel chips and heavy cream in the microwave or in a saucepan over low heat, stirring until combined. Drizzle over top of cake and serve.
My advice to you — bake this cake. Close your blinds, turn the air down low, and burn some candles that smell like leaves. Then eat this cake.
Surprise!! It’s Fall all up in yo heezee!!
Heezee means house. Also, not cool to say anymore, but whatevs.
Also, are you on the lookout for ANOTHER caramel apple treat? Shelly is sharing the recipe for Caramel Apple Popcorn!! You know you want some, so pop on over there and find out how to make it, you crazy kid.
I hope you love this cake as much as I do. Enjoy and have a happy Labor Day!
Dang! I just started Weight Watchers yesterday :( I’ll pin the recipe so when I hit my goal (which won’t be too long), I will definitely make this. I love apple/fall recipes. And I agree with you, I am so done with summer!
I know how it feels havin’ a HOT endless summer!!
Caramel, apple AND coffee! Looks like am gonna have some soon!!
I am all the way behind you on that! I am so done with summer. All I’ve been doing is hide out in my room where the air conditioner is turned on way low and I pretend it’s fall already. To help that happen this cake is getting baked today.
I made pumpkin bread the other day just hoping I could hurry Fall along! So now I feel better… I thought maybe it was weird for me to bake pumpkin bread when it was like 1000 degrees outside, but then I was never “normal”. I am sooo making this cake!!
I feel you…a hot day when it’s supposed to be fall darn it! I’m reeealllly hoping your caramel apple week will make Mother Nature take notice.
I deeeefinitely need this cake in my not-fall-here-either life. I’m SO sick of sweating and having my clothes stick to me like second skin. If they’re selling candy corn in the grocery store, it should be like, illegal for the weather to be gross anymore. Yahearme, Mother N? Anyway, I want this cake and I want it now!
I love how this just screams Fall!! I’m ready for it! Great recipe :D
I’m so with you – I am TOTALLY over summer. I want to wear socks again. Is that weird? Well even if it is, I am 100% behind this fall plan you’ve got going on.
I am with you, so tired of this Arkasas heat, very much ready for fall and all that is entails. My son’s birthday is in November, makes me love fall just that much more!

Ok… I’m trying to comment on your posts without always saying “Yum”… but I think that may be impossible! Let’s see, this looks SO delicious!! Perfect way to bring on fall!
Love your blog!!!! Whenever I need some happy I come here. I also have a 2nd grade boy who discovered Bey-blades, so I feel a certain kinship. (That’a not weird right?). Anywho, thank you for bringing a smile to my face!
Bring on Fall!!! I am ready. Can we have a pumpkin themed week next week?? Please??
This sounds fabulous! I love caramel and apples together. Yum!
You have no idea how happy I am that summer is over! Fall is my absolute fave and your cake is a very welcome treat! It looks fab :D

I am all over this. I think I am ready for summer to go take a nap too…
I just want it to stay fall for 9 months.
I hear ya on the summer thing! Normally I don’t mind the AZ heat, but I’m 39 wks pregnant right now and can’t wait to no longer be hot!!!
Can’t wait to see all of your recipes this week :)
I’m usually sad to see summer go but this year it was hell. I miss walking outside without instantly breaking a sweat. I’m ready for a chill in the air. This cake is a perfect way to celebrate the changing seasons!
Um, yeah. I am SO.OVER summer. Our last few days sound like yours….some of the hottest days of the summer so far. I think if my husband hears me ask to move one more time, he may just pack me up on a plane to Alaska.
So, I think I will do what you suggested….turn down the air and bake this cake. I may even put on boots and a sweater.
I’m not quite ready to give up fall – but then again, it’s not 105 degrees here. But I”m always willing to eat cake, especially when there is caramel involved!!!
How am I supposed to stick to my diet when you’re all posting these delicious looking recipes all the week long?
Oh my goodness, this looks amazing!
I’m going to love caramel apple week! Oh, and it was totally NOT fall here yesterday since it was over a hundred degrees and I found myself frying on a boat…
Stuffing my face with caramel apple coffee cake may solve this problem
You’re hilarious. I literally just sat down after changing EVERY air freshner/plug in thingy to apple cinnamon whatever. My house smells like an autumn potpourri bomb. :) Love your blog and this cake, pinned!
Caramel Apple treats for a week times 2 – yeah!! This cake looks amazing with the drizzle all over!
So when is pumpkin week? ;)
I’m so with you. We’re not even that hot here in Oregon…we may get up to the 90’s this week, but still…I am not a summer lover and I despise the heat even when I’m not pregnant. Thank you for bringing Fall back early!
I would be completely happy eating a slice or two of this!
Oh I love it when you and Shelly team up!
You girls are such an adorable pair! Lucy will LOVE being apart of you girls! ;)
I love anything Caramel Kristan!
This cake looks amazing!
Bye bye summer!
LOVE Fall!
xo
I’m with ya – Summer is on my nerves. I think my classroom was like 95 last week and I’m sure it’s going to be just as cozy this week. Bring on pumpkins, crisp air and all things caramel apple!
I can’t wait for the rest of the week!

I think I fell in love when you said “You dont have to lie to kick it.”
After drolling on this for a week,I made it yesterday.Needed as excuse and it came as my birthday and bagfull of fresh picked apples yesterday. Looks just like this pic and taste yummy.The texture is moist and spongey.I took a shortcut and used store bought caramel syrup instead of making one.
Thanks So much for this
OK! ya ya ya, enough already, we are all over this hot weather, it sucks, we all get it. Has any body tried this recipe yet? and if so, how is it….Would like to have some reviews on the cake. Thanks
