TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. Bake: 30 min. + cooling YIELD: 2 coffee cakes (9 servings each).
Tart sour cream flavors this moist apple cinnamon coffee cake covered with brown sugar and crunchy nuts. The yield is two pans, so you can serve one and freeze the other for a busy morning or unexpected company. —Dawn Fagerstrom, Warren, Minnesota
