“Not sure if I already reviewed this last year when I made the recipe as written but I made it this year in muffin form and used vanilla greek yogurt instead of sour cream cuz it was what I had. A small scoop of batter, a dollop of caramel, another small scoop” — a cook, 5.0★

“Absolutely loved this recipe! Would and WILL definitely be making this again. The streusel was an excellent addition to the texture and sweetness of the cake. I modified the recipe by browning the apples on the stove with brown sugar, caramel sauce, and butter” — a cook, 5.0★
