Glazed Apple Coffee Cake

If you've never had coffee cake before, it kind of falls into a special category of food. It's equally at home on your breakfast table as it would be for an afternoon snack or an after-dinner dessert.

Very versatile.

And this one in particular is special because it incorporates baked apples to make it perfect for Fall. I think you'll love this one.
