Apple Streusel Cream Cheese Mini Bundt Cakes

These elegant mini apple bundt cakes feature a sweet cream cheese filling topped with a buttery cinnamon streusel and apple pie filling. With a salted caramel drizzle, they are an ideal fall treat to go with your afternoon tea or coffee.

You know what they say “about an apple a day”?  Well in my house, we go through a lot more than an apple a day.  My lil guy can easily eat two or three in one sitting so we usually have a ton of apples on hand for snacking and baking.

I can’t think of anything sweeter than the aroma of baked apples and cinnamon filling through your house.  These apple streusel mini bundt cakes were the result of one of these baking sessions.

They have all the classic flavors of fall in a mini single-serving portion.  Because mini desserts = way cuter and so much more fun to eat.

If you don’t have a mini bundt cake pan – you could always use a muffin tin or even a smaller cake pan.

The cakes come together without having to pull out your mixer.  I used Greek yogurt,  coconut oil, and applesauce to keep them light and tender.

If you’re a cheesecake fan, you’ll love the creamy cheesecake goodness stuffed inside.  It goes so nicely with the buttery and crunchy streusel topping <—–always my favorite part 🙂

The best part about mini desserts is you can have fun adding all of your own favorite toppings!

I threw on a spoonful of homemade apple pie filling, some salted caramel and a dusting of powdered sugar.

They are the perfect treat to go with your afternoon coffee or tea – one bite and you’ll fall in love!
