About the Recipe
Caramel Apple Coffee Cake
Tip One: This recipe calls for sour cream which helps add flavor and contribute a rich and tender texture. If you don’t have sour cream on hand feel free to use plain yogurt, just make sure it’s full fat for best results!
Tip Two: Use homemade or store-bought caramel here! Here’s my easy recipe for homemade caramel. If you use store-bought, I prefer Trader Joe’s brand.
Tip Three: To double this recipe to serve a larger group, double all ingredients and bake in a 9 by 13-inch pan and bake for 40 to 50 minutes.
