Before posting my mother's recipe for Apple Brown Betty which could be called a "coffee cake" I checked out a few other ones. I did not find one that is exactly like this one, so am posting this one too. My mother liked her food tasty, plain, and simple with just enough spice but not overpowering spices, so if you like yours this way, too, you may enjoy this recipe.
