APPLE COFFEE CAKE ....

Foody Friday again !!! Another week of Bible Study .... Another new recipe tried ...... and this one is another keeper !!!!

Apple Coffee Cake

This cake is lovely and moist. The apple in the middle of it, cooks to the consistency of a filling .... imagine apple pie filling in the middle of a cake, with a crunchy, nutty top ..... everything that is good and delicious about a cake !!!

- 9oz Yellow Cake Mix (just measure it out of a regular box of yellow cake mix)

- 1 (3.4oz) Package of Vanilla Pudding Mix

- 2 Eggs

- 1/2 Cup Sour Cream

- 1/4 Cup Butter, melted

- 2 Medium Tart Apples, peeled, cored, and shredded. (I used Honey Crisp apples)

- 1/2 Cup Sugar

- 1/4 Cup Chopped Walnuts

- 1 Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon

- In a bowl, beat cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, sour cream and melted butter for 2 minutes.
  The mixture will be very thick.

- Pour half of batter into a greased 8"x 8" baking dish.

- Top with shredded apples.

- Combine sugar, cinnamon and walnuts, and sprinkle half of this mixture over the apples.

- Drop spoonfuls of the remaining batter over the apples (this just makes spreading easier).

- Spread batter over the apples.

- Top with the remaining sugar mixture.

- Bake at 350 Deg F, for 50 - 55 mins. A toothpick inserted in the center, must come out clean.

- Cool cake completely and enjoy !!!!

Let me know if you give this a try ...... you'll be really glad you did.

Wishing y'all a wonderful weekend.
