I don't drink coffee. Never really have. When I was little, my maternal grandmother would treat us (me and my cousins) to a little cup of coffee. She had these little green cups. I think she put a lot of milk in it and probably sugar too. Anyway, that was always a special time for us growing up. When I got older and first went to college, I tried drinking coffee, but quit when I realized I had almost as much sugar in the cup as I did coffee. True story. I promise.
Anyway, if I did drink coffee, I think this Apple-Nut Coffee Cake would taste great with it. It tastes even better the second day... so moist.
It was just what I needed after a busy afternoon of making a dessert (Turtle Cake) to take to a party and another batch of apricot jam. According to my recipe card the recipe came from Better Homes and Garden, but I don't know any particulars.
APPLE-NUT COFFEE CAKE
1/4 cup shortening
1/2 cup sugar (I used 1/4 cup stevia/sugar baking blend)
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup dairy sour cream (I used vanilla Greek yogurt)
3/4 cup finely chopped peeled apple
1/4 cup chopped nuts
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon butter, melted
