This apple cinnamon coffee cake is bursting with apple cider flavor and finished with a cinnamon apple crumb topping! Gluten-free, dairy-free, and paleo are all options. Next, try my paleo cranberry coffee cake.
I’m not going to bore your ears today. Wait, did you close your eyes? In any case, I’m not going to mutilate you for the sake of a tale.
To be honest, I’m fatigued because I’ve gotten the cold that my husband has been battling for over a week now (shakes fist), I’ve been plowing through a large backlog of blog work that I need to get done before the holidays, and the chilly weather has made me drowsy.

Is apple cider paleo?
Apple cider is made from apples, a plant food that is considered a component of a paleo diet, however it does include sugar from those apples, but not the fiber that you get from chewing into an apple.
Therefore I handle apple cider in my paleo dishes the same way I do any other ingredient; it’s all about moderation. I’m cool with that, but if you’re not, that’s great too. It just implies that this may not be the recipe for you!

Storing apple coffee cake
This coffee cake is inspired by the cranberry coffee cake I prepared last month, and I can’t decide which is my favorite. This one is moister due to the inclusion of apple cider, but it does not keep as long in storage.
This is best eaten the same day or the following day and saved in an airtight container (ideally in the fridge), but I wouldn’t keep it any longer.
That, in my opinion, makes it the ideal breakfast for when you know you’ll have a crowd! Christmas morning, breakfast, or a small group of hungry folks.
So go ahead and have a piece (or two, I won’t tell) with your morning tea or coffee. If you’re not paleo, make a little vanilla glaze and sprinkle it on top; it adds a little something something.
