Outstanding coffee cake! I made this last week for my Sunday morning group and they insisted I make it again this morning - it was even commented that this is the best baking I've ever brought - which is saying alot! The first time I made it I substituted vanilla yogurt for the sour cream, which worked out very well. I have to note that the smell while this is baking is absolutely divine! Thanks, swissms, for a new favourite! Made for Sweet Traditions. -
This recipe is AMAZING!! I have made this twice in the last week because it is so yummy and it never lasts! Our family of three can finish it off in 2 days (2 adults, 1 child). In addition when I make this for my women's group there is never any left at the end of the meeting! Thank you so much for posting this delicious recipe! Moist and superb! -
This is a great recipe! Love the flavor with the apples, but I can see it working with almost any fruit. I used 5 small orchard apples for a perfect apple bite each time. Fat free sour cream from Trader Joes also worked well. Thanks swissms! -
This was truly delicious! It came out so moist, not dry and yucky like other coffee cake recipes I have made. I halved the recipe, because I was only feeding my husband, toddler and I, although I did keep the recipe amounts for the crumble topping the same, because I really favor a lot of crumble topping on my coffee cake. I did skip out on the brown sugar glaze, because I was making this at night when I was pretty tired, but the brown sugar glaze would probably have made this even better. This is a recipe I will make again, I probably will not bother with any other coffee cake recipes, this one is my favorite out of all I have tried. Thanks for posting the recipe. -
Excellent recipe! I had to put it in a 9x9 pan, though, otherwise it wouldn't have spread into a 13x9.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I love cooking for family and friends. I especially enjoy baking...it is like combining art and science to create something extraordinary.
I am most known for making desserts like Recipe #336060. My pet peeve: when people sign-up to bring dessert to a pot-luck or dinner party and they bring something pre-made from the store. My friends and family now know to always let me bring the dessert. :)
I enjoy traveling and believe that one of the best ways to experience a culture is through food. I have lived in Germany, Spain and Switzerland, and currently live in the US.
My rating system:
5 stars - Excellent! Delicious! Could not be better...will make often.
4 stars - Very good! May tweak slightly.
3 stars - Good base recipe. Will need to tweak.
2 stars - Ok. Will keep looking.
