Apple Pecan Coffee Cake Recipe Rating 5

My family really enjoys this sweet, moist coffee cake with its crunchy cinnamon topping. On chilly winter days, a warm slice hits the spot, but it tastes just as good served cold.

This cake was fabulous. A real keeper. I used 1 cup butter instead of 1/2 cup of butter, 1/2 cup of shortening. I prefer to use butter instead of shortening in most recipes. The cake is very moist because of the butter milk. If you take the time to make this cake, you will not be disappointed.
