Apple Cinnamon coffee cake

I had some apples that needed using up... didn't want to waste money and throw them away....do you ever have stuff that you are wondering what to do with?  Do what I did...come up with a recipe to use up those ingredients before you throw them away...
With this recipe try other fruit, peaches, plums, pears, blueberries...use what you have or use frozen...
I made a maple syrup glaze to put over the top.  You can skip this and serve the cake plain, or just sprinkle the cake with powdered sugar...Enjoy
