Apple Cinnamon Coffee Cake (Gluten-Free)

Morgan James Eckroth
Apple Cinnamon Coffee Cake—gluten-free, of course—is the kind of treat that makes you look forward to waking up. Picture this: tender apple chunks mingling with a cinnamon-spiced crumb that's guaranteed to steal the spotlight. It's your new morning best friend, making gluten-free living look ridiculously delicious.
I whip this beauty up when I need a breakfast pick-me-up or an afternoon sweet fix. It’s my way of showing off that gluten-free can be both scrumptious and sophisticated. Trust me, when I serve this at gatherings, everyone pretends they don’t see the extra slice I sneak for myself!
