Customization Tips
While Granny Smith apples are recommended for their tartness and ability to hold shape, you can experiment with other firm apple varieties in this apple coffee cake recipe. The recipe specifies you can use either light or dark brown sugar for the cake and the topping, allowing you to tailor the molasses notes to your preference. For a subtle flavor shift, consider using apple pie spice instead of just ground cinnamon in the topping.
