    I have made this cake 3 times now, and the 2nd & 3rd time I put 1/2 the batter then took roughly 1/4 of the streusel and sprinkled it to cover then added the rest of the batter and topped with remaining streusel. Got raves.

    This apple cake was fantastic. I upped the vanilla in the cake to 1 tsp.,added a splash of vanilla as suggested, and I used 2 1/2 very large apples, and then used 1/2 cup brown sugar for the topping instead of white sugar. This recipe is definitely a keeper.

    I've made this cake several times and it is always a hit with family and friends. I used to watch Gale Gand's show and love her desserts. The first time I made it I used white sugar for the topping, after that I used all brown sugar. The brown sugar topping turned out better for me. Also used melted butter instead of shortening.

    After browsing through many recipes I finally decided to try this one because it seemed easy to do. I was very happy with the outcome. It is a delicious steusel cake, moist and fluffy. Anyone can make it. I did change a few things after reading others reviews--I increased the cinnamon to 1 tsp. in the cake, heated my milk for 30 sec., and added a splash of vanilla. I did not have Granny Smith apples so I used Empire. I am sure just about any apple would do. I did use half while sugar and half brown sugar in the topping. It was crunchy and yummy but next time I might use all brown sugar as I would do with a regular coffee cake. It was a hit with my 9 year old son!

    Instead of chopping and measuring the apples, I just added thin sliced pieces of 3 empire apples. I also double the crumb topping for extra goodness.

    My college sophomore daughter needed something to share with her Air Force ROTC class during a breakfast meeting. She tripled the recipe for two 12'x8' disposable foil pans. We didn't have enough apples, so she used 2 apples and a cup of applesauce. She was confused about the butter mixing with the struesel topping so I showed her how to "cut" it in using two knives. Other than that, she did it totally on her own. Next time, will follow some of the other raters suggestions about brown sugar and the spices. A definite WOW!!

    I made this coffee cake twice within a week, that's how good it is. I substituted
    brown sugar for the regular sugar for the topping. I found that when I added
    the melted shortening (crisco to the milk and egg mixture.the shortening started
    clumpping up. So I had to heat up the mixture till the shortening warmed up again. Maybe milk and egg have to be room temperature? Prep. time took me
    40-45 minutes. Well worth the time! Everyone in house loved loved it!

    I had to quadruple this recipe for my husband's class as a treat on a test day. I didn't get a chance to taste my work but 32 anxious sailors did and it was a hit! I baked it in two 13x9 foil pans and increased the bake time. I did follow the suggestions on here and upped the cinnamon and used half brown sugar for the topping. My only complaint is that now his class wants me to bake on every test day!

    I love a lot of spice in my coffee cake so I upped the cinnamon to 1 teaspoon in the cake. I also added 1/2 t nutmeg and 1/3 t cardamon. For the streusel I upped the cinnamon again to 3/4 teaspoon. Next time I'll try it with brown sugar.

    This is a new family favorite!
