Tasty Tuesday... Mom's Apple Sour Cream Coffee Cake

I used to be so good at participating in link ups and then I feel like all of the link ups I used to participate in kind of sort of died.  Well Tuesdays used to be recipe days, so rather than finding a recipe link up, I am just going to institute "Tasty Tuesdays" on my blog.  Every time I post on a Tuesday that post is going to be dedicated to some sort of recipe... whether drink, dinner, dessert, breakfast, etc... Tuesdays are going to be dedicated to recipes.

To kick it off I am going to start with my mom's famous Apple Sour Cream Coffee Cake!  This recipe is always a fan favorite at church and we definitely enjoyed it the last time I made it for us at home!
