Apple Cream Cheese Coffee Cake



The recipe below is for coffee cake, but it doesn't have any coffee in it.

WHAT?!?! You might be yelling at your computer screen. This is outrageous! Where's my caffeine? I NEED my caffeine! What's the point in eating sugar and butter if I can't have caffeine, too? 

I can tell you're frustrated, imaginary reader who yells at computer screens. But I didn't say you can't have caffeine with this dessert.

You see, coffee cake doesn't have to have coffee in it. By definition, coffee cake is cake that's people generally eat with coffee.

So, even though this cake doesn't have coffee in it, it's still delicious. Over and out.
