This coffee cake is super moist, nicely spiced and packed with apples! I used a couple of large pink ladies and powdered buttermilk but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. And yes, it really did take an hour and twenty minutes to cook! I divided the pan into 9 HUGE squares and froze them individually for weekday breakfasts - they thaw beautifully. Thanks for posting!
