Apple Walnut Coffee Cake

By srumbel

Honestly, if you left out the apples from this cake it would still be wonderful. The apples add a bit of texture and flavor but they get a little buried under that topping. This stayed moist for several days too so don’t hesitate to make it the day before if you are having company. We warmed it up in the microwave for a few seconds and it tasted fresh from the oven.
