Apple Pumpkin Coffee Cake – A great coffee cake for fall. The apple keeps the cake super moist, and the pumpkin gives it that great fall flavor.

Coffee cake is one of my favorite weekend breakfasts.  It is what I great up with on weekend, so I still love it today.  I added chocolate to our favorite version in this Chocolate Chip Coffee Cake recipe.

Today I am dressing it up for fall using pumpkin!  Pumpkin in any form is always a good idea!  If you like cookies, these Chewy Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies are a must try. 

Apple Pumpkin Coffee Cake - a great fall coffee cake

Apples and pumpkins are all over the place right now.  So I decided to combine the two into one coffee cake.  The apples are shredded, so they keep the cake super moist.  Plus it has a streusel topping, so pretty much everyone is going to love it! Kind of like this Apple Pie Bread – the struesel just makes it!

I almost put a little vanilla glaze, drizzled over the top too.  But I thought that might be the line that takes it from breakfast to dessert.  And, really, I want any excuse I can, to have cake for breakfast.  Keep this apple pumpkin coffee cake recipe handy for the next time you have guests, Thanksgiving morning, or some random Tuesday morning.

I used Mazola® Corn Oil to make this pumpkin coffee cake.  There’s even a new study out that show corn oil significantly reduces cholesterol with more favorable changes in total cholesterol (TC) and LDL-C than extra virgin olive oil.  Corn oil has natural cholesterol-blocking ability of plant sterols, so it can have really positive effects on blood cholesterol levels.

I just love it when cake becomes a little bit better for you!  And there are no worries about taste, you will never know this coffee cake wasn’t made with all butter! And with that leftover pumpkin, you have tons of other pumpkin recipes to pick from to use it!!

This pumpkin coffee cake is going to be a hit for your fall brunch!  It has all the cinnamon and pumpkin spice flavors that you love with pumpkin desserts, but you get to eat it for breakfast!  And for dessert you can serve these Caramel Apple Pie Bars, because apples are the other fall staple!  

Pumpkin crumb cake is a must each year.  The crumb topping is just so good!  Because let’s face it, the more crumb topping the better!

    Hi Erin! I’m in Colorado, too! I was wondering if this recipe is adapted to high altitude? (I’m close to 10,000 feet, but adapted all my other recipes when I moved from the East Coast to Denver a few years back.) Thanks! Can’t wait to try this one out!

      Tanya – I do not write my recipes with the adapted for high altitude. I write them for how most of the people reading would make them. So for Denver, I would add 1/4 cup of milk and 2 Tbls of flour, reduce the baking powder to about 1 3/4 tsp, and reduce the sugar by 1 tsp. That should give you a perfect coffee cake! Hope you enjoy!

    Making this now but doubled the recipe to use the entire can of pumpkin. My Honey Crisp apple was big enough to yield 2 1/2 cups! I also used 1/2 oatmeal and flour in the topping. Beautiful Fall morning to make the house smell this good!

    Hi! I’m in a very rural community and our grocery store has 4 isles Can I use pumpkin pie filling as we don’t have purée and I’m anxious to make this. Thanks!

      They should definitely work. Just a little denser than some muffins. I would start with 15 minutes and check every couple minutes to see if they are done

      I have not tried it that way Liza, but I can’t see why it wouldn’t work. It may taste slightly different. You could also use vegetable oil or canola oil. Enjoy!

    I noticed your recipe first said 15 minute bake time and then at the bottown 25-30 minutes. Which is it? I am going with 25 because that’s the usual for a coffee cake in a 8×8 inch pan.

      The apples are there purely to make the cape super moist. They are shredded so as they bake, they basically disappear and you just have a moist coffee cake.
