“This recipe is good, but it really needs a revisit badly! The first thing I’ll say is I had 2 very small apples and so I added them in, well the batter completely filled my entire 9x13 pan, and I couldn’t fit all the strusle. I decided to trust it (big mistak” — a cook, 3.0★
“This coffee cake turned out delicious! I halved the recipe and it turned out just fine. I’d maybe add more apples the next time I make it, but that’s just a personal preference. It did take longer to baked than the specified time, probably 15-20 minutes at lea” — a cook, 4.0★
