Oh but don't forget that delectable crumble! Stir the ingredients together in a small bowl until justย combined and keep chilled until ready to sprinkle evenly on top of the batter. Speaking of that crumble...โฌ

The crumble topping on a coffee cake is the BEST part amiright? This one is legit at least โ of the cake. Flavored with autumn spices and even more apples, you won't want to skimp on it!
PS. For best crumble, make sure to use chilled butter, otherwise you end up with more of a drizzle that is impossible to sprinkle. Still delicious but not quite what we're looking for on top of this apple crumble coffee cake.

Iโm confused by the use of both metric and imperial measurements in the metric version of this recipe. Is this a product of a programming glitch?
Sounds delicious though.

Hi Jen! I just went over the recipe and I only see imperial measurements on my end. It's possible its a programming issue that I can definitely bring up with my recipe card plugin company. What are you seeing exactly?
