Apple Coffee Cake

Here is the recipe that you tasted last night :) There are some variations of the coffee cake such as adding walnuts or sliced almonds to the topping.

1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
2 eggs unbeaten
1 cup sour cream
1 tsp vanilla
3-4 apples sliced (most any fruit will work....even rhubarb just increase the sugar)
1/4 tsp salt
1 3/4 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda

Topping:
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
2 tbsp flour
2 tbsp melted butter
nuts (optional)


Cream butter and sugar until fluffy then add the eggs, sour cream, and vanilla beating well. Mix the dry ingredients and add them to the cream mixture. Spoon half of the mixture into a greased 8 x 8 pan. Sprinkle half of the topping; next spread all the apples. Spoon on remaining batter, then rest of the topping. Bake at 350 degrees for 45-55 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. You may want to cover in foil the last 10 min or so if the top layer starts to overcook.
