Holiday brunches at our house always feature this lovely braid. The dough is prepared in a bread machine, giving me time to focus on other things.

This coffee cake was a lot of work and it didn't turn out as good as I hoped. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

The instructions for this recipe were a bit confusing. I had to reread them several times to make sure I was doing it right.

I found this coffee cake to be a bit dry. I think I would add more butter or oil to the batter next time.

This coffee cake is a bit sweet for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less sugar in the filling next time.

I made this coffee cake in a Bundt pan and it turned out beautifully. The glaze drizzled down the sides and made it look extra special.

I added a streusel topping to this coffee cake and it was heavenly. The crunch of the streusel added a nice contrast to the soft cake.

I used Granny Smith apples in this recipe and they were perfect. They held their shape well and gave the coffee cake a nice tartness.
