Sour Cream Apple Coffee Cake

[KellyMarie]

This is a fun, very good little apple coffee cake recipe. It’s made in an eight-inch skillet but you can double it for a 9 x13-inch pan. It’s got two cups of apples in a light, delightsome cake with a walnut and brown sugar topping. We first made with a brown sugar flavor—because we love born sugar flavor. Then we decided that we wanted to boost the apple flavor and changed the recipe to apple flavor. We’re sure that it would be good with vanilla.

Ingredients 1/4 cup shortening
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon brown sugar flavor or apple flavor
1 egg
2/3 cup sour cream
2 cups peeled, diced apples
1 1/4 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/3 cup chopped walnuts
1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/3 cup butter
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

1. Cream the shortening, sugar, first measure of cinnamon, and salt together. Add the flavor and eggs and beat well. Add the sour cream and diced apples.
2. In another bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and soda together.
3. Add the flour to the creamed mixture in four additions, beating after each. Pour batter into a greased eight-inch pan.
4. For the topping, mix the walnuts, second measure of brown sugar, and second measure of cinnamon together. Cut in the butter with a pastry knife. Sprinkle over the cake.
5. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes. Or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
