Apple coffee cake mix is a family favorite can be made in under 30 minutes and will soon become your go-to recipe for busy weekday mornings. Don’t count on leftovers though, the kids have a tendency to gobble this down quickly!
This recipe calls for applesauce, while you can use storebought applesauce, we generally use our spiced chunky homemade applesauce that we make when apples are in season and then freeze. If you’re using store-bought applesauce, you might want to add 1/2 teaspoon of apple pie spice to the sauce prior to making the recipe.
For the apples, we tend to use apples that are slightly tart and hold their shape well during baking such as Cortlands or Macintosh apples. I don’t recommend using snacking apples such as red or golden delicious as they don’t taste very good when they’re cooked.
