Glazed Apple Coffee Cake
This glazed apple coffee cake is unlike any breakfast cake you’ve ever had thanks to The Spice House Cinnamon Maple Sugar and Saigon Cinnamon. These two spices create a warming cinnamon sugar swirl and an oat streusel topping that’s almost reminiscent of an oatmeal cookie. Those two elements paired with the soft apple cake create the perfect cozy autumn breakfast treat!
