Favorite Apple Nut Coffee Cake

 I’ve made this a lot over the years.

• 3 medium-sized golden delicious apples
• Sugar
• 1 c softened butter
• 1 16-oz container sour cream
• 2.5 cups flour
• 1 Tb baking powder
• 2 tsp baking soda
• 2 tsp vanilla
• 4 large eggs

Prepare streusel topping and set aside. (Knead 1 c walnuts, ⅔ c flour, ¼ c brown sugar, 4 T butter and 1 tsp cinnamon into large pieces.)

Toss thinly sliced apples with 2 T sugar. Grease 14x10 roasting pan. Preheat oven to 350.

Beat butter with with 1.5 c sugar until light and fluffy. Add sour cream and remaining ingredients until blended. Beat 1 minute. Spread batter in pan and arrange apple slices on top. Sprinkle with streusel topping.

Bake 45-50 min until cake pulls away from pan. Cool 10 minutes. 18 servings.
