Recipe Description

This Apple Sour Cream Coffee Cake recipe is a moist and delicious cake with a nutty crunch. I always like to have a coffee cake on stand by at the weekend in case guests pop by. This one is my favorite! It’s super moist thanks to the apples and it has a nutty crunch to add texture.

To make this, start by making the cake batter. Fold in apple chunks and add vanilla extract. Make a cinnamon sugar topping by mixing sugar and cinnamon together. Transfer half of the cake batter to a baking pan and sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar. Add the remaining batter and sprinkle with the remaining cinnamon sugar and top with chopped nuts. Bake in the oven until golden brown on top. Remove and leave to cool.
