Happy Wednesday!
The last two weeks of December always passes by so quickly. And I feel so spoiled by all the extra days off. By the time the first full week of January arrives, I’m already wishing that we could rewind and repeat the holidays. Because the weeks following the holidays are always the hardest, especially when there’s no other holiday to look forward to for awhile.
So… I figured we might need a midweek pick me up. This apple cinnamon coffee cake is currently my indulgence. The cake is moist and flavorful with swirls of cinnamon and chopped apples in every bite. It’s warm and comforting and reminds me of the best parts of fall. It’s lightly sweetened and perfect for pairing with coffee or tea. You can serve this coffee cake for breakfast because I have no qualms about eating dessert for breakfast. Or you can serve it for an afternoon snack.
I can’t wait for you to try this!
