Apple Coffee Cake

I found a similar recipe for coffee cake from
Taste of Home and changed it up a
bit and was so happy with the results.
This is not your typical dry coffee cake.
The first time I took it to church
people were surprised at how moist it was.
It's the lightest crumbly coffee
cake I have ever made and I think you
will really enjoy this.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Butter 9 x 13 inch pan.

1/2 cup soft butter
1 cup sugar
