Honey Crisp Coffee Cake

Honey Crisp Coffee Cake Recipe

This came from a school cookbook, circa 1989. It is a basic coffeecake, but the topping is what makes it special. Use your choice of cereals depending on your mood. Cornflakes make it plain and you may want to add cinnamon, the flavored flakes make it unique. Experiment!
