I am a coffee cake fanatic. I can’t get enough. And when I stumbled onto this recipe from my great- Aunt Margaret, I knew I had to give this one a try with its pairing of tart apples with a sweet crumble topping.

Made with traditional ingredients like sour cream, this recipe is SO GOOD. I had to stop myself from eating the entire pan. Seriously. And while this recipe didn’t rise to the height I thought it would, the moist apples combined with the walnuts meant I didn’t care.

What kind of apples for apple coffee cake?

Like all baked goods, I highly recommend using a tart apple like Jonagold or granny smith.

Can I omit the walnuts in this recipe?

Yes! I personally love nuts in my baked goods, but this coffee cake is equally as delicious nut-less.

How do I know when the coffee cake is fully baked?

When you insert a toothpick in the middle and it comes out clean, you know your coffee cake is done!
