"This is one of my favorite quick breakfasts in the fall and winter, especially if you warm it up in the microwave. I've been making this for 20 years! It is one of the first recipes I ever learned."

Yum! Made this for breakfast yesterday and it was wonderful! It was moist and delicious. Made as written, except we didn't have walnuts so I used pecans instead and we only had light sour cream. Used 1/2 cup pecans, 3 tablespoons butter and 3 heaped teaspoons cinnamon in the topping. The apple was a Fuji. Baked in 8x8 pan for 30 min. Thanks for a great, quick recipe! -
I substituted the shortening with canola oil and it worked out just fine! You might want to make a revision on the instructions because you left out the addition of the egg and vanilla, but I put them in after creaming the sugar and oil and before adding the flour. =D This cake was delicious and not overly sweet, which we love in our coffee cakes! I give this recipe an A+, definately a keeper.

<p>My rating system: (I don't like giving bad reviews, so if I don't like it, I'll just not review it.) <br /><br />5 Stars OMG, this is one of the most amazing things I've ever eaten! I can't stop eating it, and I've eaten myself into a food coma. <br /><br />4 Stars The recipe is wonderful as is. I can't think of a single improvement and I will most likely make it again. <br /><br />3 Stars This needed a little *something*something*. I might make it again, but will add my own improvements if I do. <br /><br />I love to eat! And I love to cook. I tend to take over the kitchen when I get in there. Even the dog knows the command get outta my kitchen! LOL. Cooking for other people and trying new recipes or foods is FUN! I have a small (but growing quickly!!) cookbook collection and one of my favorite things to do is to read recipes and plan meals. Rachael Ray, Horn of the Moon and Moosewood are favorites of mine. <br /><br />We spend a lot of time outdoors camping, hiking and backpacking. Yup. I cook in the woods too! I've made deals with my hiking buddies... If they carry in my food, I'll cook for them. I recently published a backpacking cookbook.
