Effortless Apple Coffee Cake

My love of apples is calling me.

With the different varieties of apples I've been eating lately I'm on an apple kick.  I wanted to make something comforting and yummy, but I wanted something simple.  

This dish has all the flavors of my mom's homemade coffee cake without all the effort!  

The batter is quick to pull together and in no time you will have a house smelling delectable and a coffee cake just waiting to snack on!

This is so good that you'll want to make this incredibly delicious dish for your next brunch.
