A Norwegian Coffee Cake

This is such an awesome recipe. It doesn't take a lot of money and you can make it taste just the way you want - strawberries or cream cheese (or both) work well. Very good!

A truly amazing combination of flavors. The dressing is divine, the warm and tart goat cheese combined with the sweetness of apple ring is truly out of this world.
