Time is flying by AND a Recipe to share

I don't know about you, but it seems that every month this year has gone a little bit faster than the one before...and here it is...the 8th of November already!  Each day seems so full of things, I wish everything would just slow down...perhaps that is why God created Winter...so that we would kick up our feet, sit by the fire and enjoy life a bit.

So, in an effort to help you sit back and relax with a cup of coffee this weekend, I  thought I would share this YUMMY coffee cake recipe with you.

Apple Cinnamon Sour Cream Coffee Cake

For the Cake you will need

6 T unsalted butter

3/4 c sugar

2 X-lg eggs 

1 t vanilla

1/2 t cinnamon (I used a bit more)

1 1/4 c flour

1/4 t baking soda

1 c finely diced apple

2/3 c sour cream

Mix wet ingredients together then gradually add the dry ingredients just until blended. Pour into greased 9" round Springform pan.

1/3 c brown sugar
