We just love this delightful coffee cake or dessert as you wish, which we have reduced the amount of what we call the “baddies” in cooking. If you are diabetic you may replace the sugar with Stevia’; notice the cream cheese is the light or low-fat and the flour is a Nutri-Flour which is half regular flour and half whole wheat. Apples maintain healthy living for all of us, no matter what age.

1/3 cup sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
