Apple Walnut Coffee Cake

 

Juicy apples and crisp brown sugar streusel top a moist and tender sour

cream cake.

 

Ingredients:

 

Streusel topping:

1 cup walnuts, chopped

2/3 cup flour

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

4 tablespoons butter or margarine, not softened

1 teaspoon cinnamon

 

Cake:

3 medium Delicious apples

sugar

1 cup margarine or butter, softened

1 16-oz container sour cream

2 1/2 cups flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

2 teaspoons baking soda

2 teaspoons vanilla

4 large eggs

 

Directions:

Prepare streusel topping by combining the ingredients in a small bowl

and kneading, with your hands, into large chunks. Set aside.

Peel and slice apples, then toss in a small bowl with 2 tablespoons of

sugar. Set aside.

Grease 10 " x14 " roasting pan. Preheat oven to 350F.

 

In a large bowl, beat butter with 1 1/2 cups of sugar (use medium speed)

until light and fluffy. Add sour cream and all remaining ingredients,

then beat at low speed until product is well-blended. Beat at medium

speed for one minute.

 

Spread batter in the pan. Arrange apple slices on top, making sure to

place them right to the edges of the pan, so the batter won't rise up to

cover them.

 

Sprinkle with streusel topping and bake for 45-50 minutes until cake

pulls away from the sides of the pan. Cool for at least 10 minutes

before serving.

 

Notes: You might want to use a pasteurized egg product in the batter,

because this batter is irresistable!
