Apple Streusel Coffee Cake
"This was a Blueberry Coffee cake that I tried from the Penzey catalog. As with any recipe that I tried that they had posted it was great. I modified this because I wanted to try it with apples, and to fit what I had on hand. The response from the group I served it to was good."

I didn't have good luck with this recipe. I assembled the ingredients as suggested and ended up with a very heavy (almost bread dough) texture. Had to add additional milk to get anything resembling cake batter. The resulting volume was too great for my bundt pan and final product was a very heavy, stodgy product.
