Caramel Apple Crumb Cake

Hello September aka Hello Fall!!

Hello apples, caramel and everything that makes the planet orbit the sun!! (Yup, I mean boots, scarves and crispy leaves).

To kick off the celebration of apples (and Fall!), I made this easy caramel apple crumb cake. It only makes sense we start with breakfast because you know it’s the most important meal, right?? This cinnamon crumb cake is light, moist, filled with chopped apples and swirls of cinnamon and caramel. I can’t see why your morning cup of joe (or tea) shouldn’t be adorned with a slice of this crumb cake.

The recipe for this crumb cake is over on Krusteaz.com where I am sharing it with their readers. You won’t believe the cake batter starts with one of my favorite Krusteaz box mixes of the season!! Head over there and grab the recipe.
