So this started out as my Apple Tart Recipe and then I started experimenting with different fruits. So far I have done the apple, blueberry, and peach. They are all delicious and very easy to make. I think the rustic look is great.

Since it makes two you can use two different types of fruit. The last time I made it, I did one blueberry and one peach. I took it to our friend’s house and there were eight of us there. Four liked the blueberry better and the other four liked the peach better, so you can decide for yourself which is your favorite.

Below is the picture before the powdered sugar, not quite as pretty.

The best Strawberry Coffee Cake Recipe

I  made a double batch of strawberry freezer jam last week and ran out of the strawberries that we had picked. Today I was at the farmers market and they had the best looking strawberries, so I bought a bunch more……….now what am I supposed to do with all these?? Make STRAWBERRY COFFEE CAKE of course.

The Topping: Now that I have figured out that the food processor does a much better job and is so much easier, I rarely use a pastry blender. See pictures below.
