Apple Coffee Cake with Crumble Topping



 I had originally seen this recipe on the Food Network. The recipe was from Emeril. I lightened it up by using light sour cream, reducing the butter and eliminating the caramel sauce. This is a very good crumb cake! It has a very light texture and tastes really, really good warm.
Enjoy!
