Apple Topped Coffee Cake

This recipe for an Apple Topped Coffee Cake is from Evelyn Beauly & comes from The Village Cookbook edited by the Salisbury Ladies Aid of Salisbury, New Hampshire and published by the Salisbury Congregational Community Church

In 1744, the Rev. Jonathan Lee rode into this “wilderness” on horseback to become our first pastor. In New England tradition, our first Meeting House served as the center of political, social, and religious assembly. Our present Meeting House, built in 1800, remains as a living example of Puritan simplicity. The Congregational Church of Salisbury is part of the United Church of Christ (UCC), a denomination which was formed in 1957 with the merger of two church bodies – the Evangelical and Reformed Church and the Congregational Christian Church. Today the United Church of Christ includes almost 2 million people in nearly 6,500 congregations.
