This sugary-topped apple coffee cake is a delicious way to get your family out of bed in the morning. Our pros lightened the original up, but this makeover version is still scrumptious to the core! —Denise Snyder, Lemoyne, Ohio

Delicious! This was a nice, plain cake and was really filling and lower calories. I get many requests for this cake and have made it 3 times already. For the tart apples, I used a combination of 1 granny smith and 1 fuji/cortland/gala. Also I omitted the walnuts since we are allergic. Instead, I crumbled 6 soft oatmeal rasin cookies into the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture that was spread over the middle and top layers of the cake. It gave it a nice flavor, and looked pretty when cut. overall this is a hit and will be added to my recipe repertorie.

This is a go to recipe for me. I usually have the ingredients on hand anyway, and it is easy to make. I have done it several times, both with and without the nuts, and it is always a hit.

This was good. I didn't have any sour cream so I substituted it with fat free greek yogurt. I also added the apples to the batter and put it in a 9x13 and baked for 25 minutes.

This was delicious! Like others, I substituted Greek yogurt for the sour cream. I used pecans instead of walnuts, too.

I substituted pumpkin for the sour cream and used half and half flour it taste great and came out fabulous. I also used the splenda mix sugar and I made this diebetic friendly.

I made a few modifications by using a 6 oz container of Greek Yougurt and just a bit of applesauce in place of the sour cream and also substituted half of the flour with whole wheat flour and was pleased with the results! Maybe made it even a bit more healthy!

gave it 3 stars, as I haven't made it...I was wondering....if one used egg beaters and fat-free sour cream how do you think this would turn out....I am going to try that and see...as it sure sounds good....
