Cream Cheese Apple Coffee Cake

By á-46409

This only fits an 8 X 8 pan, I would have to double the recipe and use a 9 X 13 pan. I would want a bigger amount anyhow. Could freeze the rest.

Additionally, you could use a yellow cake mix and a 9 X 13 inch pan and add the cinnamon and apples and the 1/2 cup of brown sugar to the mix as you would the other cake ingredients listed on the box.

• 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
