This recipe is a for a simple cinnamon streusel apple cake but sometimes it’s the simple things in life that are the greatest. I love this cake because the center is an ooey gooey mess of apple sweetness kissed with the essence of cinnamon. The sour cream in this recipe gives the cake a kick of zippy flavor that I absolutely love. I think this cake is a great addition to my morning coffee ritual. Very flavorful and moist.
Don’t let the long list of ingredients scare you…this cake is very easy to make and you’ll be so glad you have a slice of it sitting on a plate before you. Trust me. Enjoy!
