Apple Coffee Cake

Everyday Italian Eats, p. 25

CAKE:

½ c. pancake mix

1 egg

½ c. sugar

1/3 c. milk

1 c. diced fine apples

1/3 cup melted oleo

TOPPING:

¼ c. brown sugar

¼ c. pancake mix

½ tsp. cinnamon

¼ tsp. nutmeg

2 T. soft butter (oleo)

¼ c. chopped nuts

In a medium bowl, combine pancake mix, sugar and apples. 

All shiny and sugary!

In another bowl beat oleo, milk and egg well. Add to dry ingredients until well blended. Pour into an 8-inch square pan. In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, pancake mix, cinnamon, nutmeg, butter (oleo) and chopped nuts. Should look like coarse meal. 

Don't worry - it's fine if you use butter instead of oleo. ;)

Sprinkle on top of butter and bake at 375F for 30 minutes or until done.

It comes out so pretty!

My Rating: 4/5 "Great flavor! It's a nice and moist - maybe even a little too moist, because it falls apart a little more easily than it should. But I made this as dessert one night and had it for breakfast for the rest of the week, and it was such a treat!"
