Crock-Pot Apple Cranberry Coffee Cake

Make this delicious Crock-Pot Apple Cranberry Coffee Cake for breakfast or brunch any time of the year. But it is perfect Christmas morning!

Slow Cooker Apple Cranberry Coffee Cake

Apples and cranberries just scream Autumn to me and I love the combination. This coffee cake is simple to prepare and is a nice dish to serve for breakfast or brunch.

Because this coffee cake cooks in the Crock-Pot for 2+ hours you are going to either want to start it early in the morning or make it up the night before. I either put it together and cook it after dinner, and then put it in the fridge and warm it up in the morning or I start it in the morning and we have a brunch and serve a larger meal along side.

This is also nice to take to potlucks or give as a little treat to a new mommy or someone sick and needing something home cooked. I also think this would make a lovely Christmas brunch dish!
