How to Make Apple Coffee Cake Recipes 

Have you ever learned how to make apple coffee cake recipes or do you know the origination of the recipe? I know there are many stories about the origination of this sweet delicacy and why they are called coffee cakes. As with most prized foods, many countries want to claim its origination. I only can give you my personal knowledge.


In my lifetime and my personal life as a young homemaker, most women around did not work. They stayed at home to raise their children and take care of the household. Maybe once a week the women with their children would gather at another house and have coffee along with “coffee cake”. Sometimes a neighbor or friend would stop by each other’s house to have a cup of coffee and a piece of cake.


One job of the woman of the house was to make every visitor feel welcome in their home; being hospitable. What is hospitality in the home? In my day it was only hospitable to have something to offer a guest with their coffee. I believe that this is the reason coffee cakes became so important to my earlier generations of homemakers. Of course here in the United States apples have been one of the abundant and affordable fruits, often growing in our back yards.

Enjoy the many recipes of apples like apple bread, apple dumplings and apple salad.
