More About This Recipe

  • What’s better than a warm slice of coffee cake on a crisp fall day? Seriously. Do you know the answer? I do. The answer is a warm slice of coffee cake that’s been filled with a creamy pumpkin pie filling. Pumpkin Pie Coffee Cake is as good, if not better, than you are thinking it might be. The good news is that it’s also a lot easier to make than you might think. One note on this: Be sure to purchase 100% pumpkin. Don’t get the canned pumpkin pie filling. Slicing into this pumpkin pie coffee cake is a real treat. It’s fun to see this nice thick layer of pumpkin custard on top of a soft and rich coffee cake. This will be no surprise to you, but this is really good with a cup of coffee or tea. It’s equally good with a scoop of ice cream. Heck. You could probably get away with eating it for breakfast!
