This is the best coffee cake I have ever had. It is super moist and the crumb topping melts in your mouth. The cake reminds me of a dense spice cake. The apple butter has cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and cloves in it and then the cake batter has cinnamon and nutmeg. This would be wonderful with a cup of hot mulled apple cider.
