Looking for a cozy treat to enjoy solo or share with friends? I wanted something delicious for game night and found a few apples in my fridge—perfect for a coffee cake! And of course, I couldn’t resist adding a buttery streusel topping because, let’s be honest, everything is better with streusel. Give this sweet, apple-filled coffee cake a try and pair it with a warm cup of coffee for the ultimate treat. I also had recently gotten a USA made pan as well that makes the perfect loaf and I wanted to use it for this recipe.

How to Make Apple Cinnamon Streusel Coffee Cake

Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350F and grease a baking dish or two loaf pans.

2. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients.

3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add the milk, vegetable oil, and sugar, mixing until well combined. Gradually stir in the dry ingredients until just incorporated. Gently fold in the chopped apples, along with chocolate chips or nuts if using.
