Kitchen Notes
This is a great recipe to use the stray apple sitting around in the fruit drawer. Doubling up on the cinnamon gives it an extra kick.
Is there a way to make a starter without yeast? Also Long time ago when pg with my now 21 year old I got a starter and the recipe had apples, raisins, walnuts, and a streusel topping. It was delicious but at the time it gave me severe heartburn. I don’t get HB when not pg so wish i had that recipe again. Also I don’t remember pudding in it still sounds good.
Hi Laurie,
Welcome to the Kitchen! Yes, check the Recipe Box for a Starter that doesn’t use yeast! We also suggest the Amish Friendship Bread Coffee Cake. It sounds similar to the one you mentioned with the topping! Hope that helps. http://www.friendshipbreadkitchen.com/pantry/coffee-cake-afb
