Apple Pie Filling Coffee Cake

For breakfast or...anytime!

The aroma of apples and cinnamon...oh yes!

Who doesn't like a nice piece of coffee cake for breakfast, or anytime, for that matter.   Especially for overnight company...it's just a real treat!

So, instead of running to the grocery store and buying donuts or coffee cake,  just make this one up in no time.  Your guests and family will love you even more for it!  Mine did!  Haha!

This recipe is from Kraftfoods.com and is so versatile, you can change up the pie filling to any flavor you like.  The original called for cherry, but, since we're heading into fall, I just thought the apple pie filling would be great to add to it.   Apples, cinnamon!  I get excited just thinking about this time of year, it's my absolute favorite!

By the way, this recipe won me a Blue Ribbon from "Just a Pinch" recipes. It's a super fun website that you can post your favorite recipes and find other baker's favorites too. 

Ingredients:

1 pkg. (2-layer size) white cake mix

1 tsp.  ground cinnamon

1 cup sour cream

3   eggs

1/4 cup water

1 can  (21 oz.) apple pie filling

Glaze:

1 cup  powdered sugar

1 -1 1/2 Tbsp. milk

Directions:

Heat oven to 350ºF.


Beat first 5 ingredients with mixer until well blended.   Pour into a greased and floured (or spray with Pam) 13×9-inch pan or two 8" pans; top with spoonsful of pie filling.  The cake will bake up over the filling.Bake 35 min. or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.  Cool 10 min.

Mix sugar and milk; drizzle over cake. Cool completely before slicing.

Can't wait to make this again!

A Tip from Grammy: 

-If glaze is too thick to drizzle, add milk, by teaspoonfuls, until of desired consistency.

-Change the flavor of the coffee cake by preparing with your favorite pie filling, such as blueberry, apple or strawberry.
