My dad arrived just as I took the cake out of the oven. His eyes lit up when he saw all the gorgeous apples peaking through on the top. He didn’t understand why I as taking so many photos. It was futile trying to explain my blog and how you have to try to get the right shot. He just wanted that first piece of cake to arrive a little quicker.

Apple Pie Coffee Cake
Makes 1 Cake
adapted by Vegan Yum Yum
Ingredients:
2 1/2 Cups Flour
1 Cup Granulated Sugar
1 tsp Baking Powder
3/4 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Cinnamon
2/3 Cup Canola Oil,
2/3 Cup rice milk (or regular milk) + 2 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar (or lemon juice)
2 Tbs Cornstarch mixed with 1/2 Cup Water
2 tsp Vanilla Extract
1 20 to 25 oz Jar Apple Pie Filling (I used Lucky Leaf)
2 Tbs Sugar mixed with 2 tsp Cinnamon, for topping.
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350º F.
Spread 1/2 of the batter in the bottom of a 9×11″ greased baking dish. (I used an 8 inch cast iron skillet)
Spoon on the apple pie filling evenly over the top.
Spoon the rest of the batter over the top in clumps, leaving some of the apple filling showing through.

Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar mixture.
Bake for about 60-80 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean. Check the cake after 45 minutes. Cover with foil for the last portion of baking to prevent over-browning. Remove cake from oven and good luck letting it cool before serving. The cinnamon sugar smell will have you hypnotized with desire before it cools.
Happy Monday! Thanks for your support and comments.:) Y’all rock!

I love the ice age characters being photographer. And had to laugh – my family does get impatient when I whisk food away to be photographed. Sometimes I just give in and serve it and know the photos won’t work or it will not be happening in the blog!
As for this apple pie/cake – delicious and the best of both worlds. I love an apple cake and I adore my apple pie and bringing them together under one roof is inspired.
I want an apple coffee cake. I might make this tomorrow but saute some apples I need to use. Sounds yummalicious Lora!
Oh my gosh….I am with Barb – want this coffee cake right now! That looks amazing Lora! YUM!
Your photos and recipe is bar none magnificient!
Gorgeous Lora! I love how you used apples! Very creative and delicious!
Come and share it on our apple blog hop too!

Oh, why oh why did I read this right now? Now I’ve got a FIERCE craving for apple pie coffee cake! This looks amazing!
Oh my- this looks sensational…
This is fall goodness wrapped up in one yummy cake. Your dad must have been thrilled!
That looks and sounds fabulous and it’s great that it’s vegan too!
I really, really need to get some more apples. The very first photo of your scrumptious apple cake really did me in.
I can understand why your dad would want a bite of cake right away-looks fabulous! Love that you made one with your neighbor too. Very sweet!
Yum yum and I was toying with the idea of making this fabulous cake with apples. It just screams autumn! Looks luscious, tasty and perfect for breakfast and snack. Great baking, Lora! Lucky neighbors and kids!
wow…apple pie in a coffee cake ! doesn’t get better than this
What a wonderfully quick and easy ‘apple fix’! With a hot cup of coffee … heaven on Earth! AND … I love it when you bake in that cast iron skillet! Looks so homey and cozy!
Perfect in my book! This apple coffee cake looks so good, my friend! Thank you for sharing such a delectable treat. I’ve missed visiting here, and I’m glad that I’m able to type again! Take care and many blessings.
The quality of the pie filling shows with the whole slices of apple. I was surprised to see that. Usually they’re all mushy and in pieces.
The coffee cake is beautiful. Look how wonderfully caramelized those apples got. It’s fantastic, Lora. Thanks for sharing.
Your apple pie coffee cake looks absolutely delightful! It’s like a sophisticated cobbler
Hi Lora, love that you made this fall pie in the skillet! So creative & something I must try
Lora,
The apple pie filling looks like it is high quality, which makes your Apple Coffee Cake, look even more delicious, and vegan, too.
Great pics for Luca! So cute!
Oh, I love this cross between coffee cake and biscuit-style cobbler. I’m thinking this would be perfect for Thanksgiving breakfast!
Apple/coffee cake would be perfect with my cup of coffee
I’m sure your dad was thrilled! Perfect fall treat and love that it’s vegan – I only have one suggestion – next time make three 
Your apple cake looks scrumptious! I would be impatient waiting for a piece too. I wish I lived nearby – it would be so fun to bake (and eat) together!

What a great coffee cake! Love the use of pie filling, I too never buy it. But good to know it is worth it in a pinch.
Gotta laugh at your son – totally something my 6 year old would do. that and try to jump in the picture!
