Can You Freeze Apple Coffee Cake?

I don’t know why you couldn’t freeze Apple Coffee Cake. Once the cake is cooled, wrap it in plastic wrap completely or store in an airtight container. After it’s wrapped in plastic, wrap it in foil. Completely thaw coffee cake before serving.

How Long Does Homemade Coffee Cake Last?

Coffee Cake only lasts for about 1-2 days. You can cover the coffee cake with foil or plastic wrap to prevent drying out. I like to store mine in an airtight container at normal room temperature.

What Can I Make with Lots of Apples?

There are SO many recipes to make with lots of apples. Start with this Apple Coffee Cake or Breakfast Cake Recipe. Then try Apple Turnovers, Baked Apples, Apple Chips, and Apple Cinnamon Muffins!

What is an Apple Streusel?

An Apple Streusel is where the apples are coated in a thick layer of sweet, crumbly streusel topping. Sometimes this will look like an apple crisp or cinnamon sugar topping.
