What a scrumptious apple coffee cake! I loved the topping! I used 5 apples; I chopped about 3 of them and folded them them into the batter. The rest I added to the top of batter, as directed. So awesome. I made it yesterday and it is all gone today. Thanks, Bev, for a fantastic recipe. -
We loved this so much I have made 4 of them in the last couple of months! Change up the fruit with raspberries, blueberries, strawberries etc. for a change of pace. Delicious!

Tastes delicious. However, the cake ended up a tad dry for me. I would add an extra egg yolk next time (or the finely chopped apple, as another baker suggested). In the streusel I did 2 1/2 Tbsp butter instead of just 2, and used skim milk in lieu of water for the glaze (could add vanilla too!).

Very good coffee cake. I added a finely chopped apple to the batter as well - very moist.

I too added extra apple to the batter and an extra 1/2 tsp of baking powder. This came out just as it shows in the picture and tasted great. Perfect with the morning coffee.
