  Melt in Your Mouth Apple Coffee Cake   Tasty Tuesday

I used a round 11 inch stone wear pan, and layered the bottom with:
1. 1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
2. 1/4 cup light corn syrup
3. 1/2 cup – brown sugar
4. 1/2 cup – chopped pecans (if you are pecan lovers…I recommend a bit more :)

 Melt in Your Mouth Apple Coffee Cake   Tasty TuesdayThe pecans are definitely optional. I LOVE them, but this would be delicious even without them.
5. After you have sprinkled the pecans, put a layer of diced, sliced or chopped apples (use what you have, but Granny Smith are the best).
I have an apple, peeler, slicer, corer gadget, so I normally just use half moon slices. Since I didn’t want anyone to feel left out, I showed you all options. :)

In my opinion, the cinnamon/sugar is purely optional. If you are short on time or want to cut out the additional sugar, skip this step.
Since it’s my daughter’s favorite thing, this was not an option. :)

If it does not cool, it will still taste delicious, but it will not be presentational…just soupy sensational.
Can you tell I know this from experience? :)
When it has cooled slightly, pick out your serving plate and place it on top of your baking pan. This step is always a bit tricky, since you must flip it fast.

 Melt in Your Mouth Apple Coffee Cake   Tasty Tuesday This is a great recipe for your “cooking with kids” days.
I have doubled this recipe and made it in a 9/13. Then I just flip it onto a cookie sheet.
I have also made this “low fat” by using low fat biscuits and cutting down on the butter.
You did know that brown sugar and corn syrup have virtually 0 fat grams?
Now, just don’t ask about all the other nutritional benefits…it’s just pure pleasure eating. :)
