Outstanding coffee cake! I made this last week for my Sunday morning group and they insisted I make it again this morning - it was even commented that this is the best baking I've ever brought - which is saying alot! The first time I made it I substituted vanilla yogurt for the sour cream, which worked out very well. I have to note that the smell while this is baking is absolutely divine! Thanks, swissms, for a new favourite! Made for Sweet Traditions.

This recipe is AMAZING!! I have made this twice in the last week because it is so yummy and it never lasts! Our family of three can finish it off in 2 days (2 adults, 1 child). In addition when I make this for my women's group there is never any left at the end of the meeting! Thank you so much for posting this delicious recipe! Moist and superb!

This is a great recipe! Love the flavor with the apples, but I can see it working with almost any fruit. I used 5 small orchard apples for a perfect apple bite each time. Fat free sour cream from Trader Joes also worked well. Thanks swissms!

This was truly delicious! It came out so moist, not dry and yucky like other coffee cake recipes I have made. I halved the recipe, because I was only feeding my husband, toddler and I, although I did keep the recipe amounts for the crumble topping the same, because I really favor a lot of crumble topping on my coffee cake. I did skip out on the brown sugar glaze, because I was making this at night when I was pretty tired, but the brown sugar glaze would probably have made this even better. This is a recipe I will make again, I probably will not bother with any other coffee cake recipes, this one is my favorite out of all I have tried. Thanks for posting the recipe.

Excellent recipe! I had to put it in a 9x9 pan, though, otherwise it wouldn't have spread into a 13x9.
