Hi Susan,
I had never heard of "MacKenzie Limited", so I was very glad to receive your second email with some
clarification of what you meant.
"MacKenzie Limited" is a mail-order gourmet food company based in Owings Mills, Maryland. As best I
can tell, they don't have a "bricks and mortar" retail store at all. They only do business by mail
order and online. They have a web page at: Mackenzie Ltd
and they have a Facebook page at: Mackenzie Ltd on Facebook
There is a photo of their "Granny Smith Coffee Cake" at:
Granny Smith Coffee Cake
Obtaining the actual recipe for this cake is probably next to impossible. For one thing, it's not
for certain who makes the cakes. It does not appear that MacKenzie Limited has a production facility.
Another company most likely produces this cake for them. MacKenzie Limited's buys products from producers
all over the world. They own a lot of producers and they buy from a large number of producers that they
don't own. Even if I knew the producer of the Granny Smith Coffee Cake, there is not much likelihood
that I could find the recipe and that, even if I did find it, it would be something that you could use
in your home kitchen.
Probably your only hope would be if someone has created a "copycat recipe" for the cake. Of course I
searched for one, but I could not find any indication that such a copycat recipe existed. I did not find
any mention that anyone knew even of a cake recipe that tasted similar to it.
I will post this for reader input. Maybe one of my readers knows of a recipe that tastes similar.

Hi Susan,
Although I had no success finding a recipe or a copycat for Mackenzie Ltd's cake, you might want to try this recipe:
Apple Coffeecake
It looks pretty good.
