I followed some other user suggestions on this recipe. I used 1/2 cup margarine and 1/2 cup applesauce (for the 1 cup butter). I used only 1.5 cups of white sugar (instead of the 2 cups). I used 2 cups whole wheat bran flour (instead of the 2 cups all purpose). I added ~1 cup of walnuts to my topping/filling and I didn't melt the margarine that I used for the topping. I baked it in a 9" springform pan. I find that the discrepancy in how long to bake it for is terrible though. I started at 40 minutes, added 20 more, and then added another 15! I'm very surprised no burning occurred, but it didn't burn at all.
All in all, a pretty good cake for my first coffee cake. I am going to drizzle some leftover caramel sauce onto it!
