Whole Grain Apple Pecan Coffee Cake

We love fresh apples paired with our whole grain in a delicious coffee cake. Our Whole Wheat Flour is ideal in this recipe and the cake stays moist for several days. This cake is rich and dense with spice and the perfect addition to any breakfast table or brunch. Topped with a generous amount of sugared pecans, it has a hearty crunch.

Add this to your list of recipes that freeze beautifully! We also love taking individual pieces and wrapping them for the freezer so they are easy to grab for lunches or afternoon snacks. Whole grain and whole foods for you and your family will never go out of style.
