Makeover Spice Crumb Cake image

Replacing the shortening with a small amount of oil and some applesauce, and substituted two egg whites for one of the eggs. Even though butter is used instead of shortening ind the topping to retain the from-scratch flavor, this cake still has less fat calories and cholesterol than the original version.-Carolyn Nicholas, Winter Springs, Florida

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cake turned out really dry. I think I may have forgotten to add the eggs.

This spice crumb cake was a hit! The crumb topping was perfectly crunchy and the cake itself was moist and flavorful. I used a combination of apples and walnuts, and it was a great choice. Will definitely be making this again!
