Pineapple Coffee Cake

Dole

1 can (20 oz.) pineapple tidbits

½ cup packed brown sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

½ cup chopped walnuts

3 tablespoons butter or margarine, diced

2 cups prepared baking mix

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 egg

Drain pineapple, reserve 2/3 cup juice. Pat pineapple dry.

Mix brown sugar, cinnamon, walnuts and butter in medium bowl; set aside.

Slicing cold butter is always kind of weird, but also kind of fun.

Beat reserved juice with baking mix, granulated sugar and egg in large bowl for 30 seconds. Spoon into 9-inch round baking pan sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Top with half of walnut mixture, pineapple and remaining walnut mixture.

The pineapple is really the money of the dish, so make sure you get it spread around!

Boom! (Well, more boom!-y after you take it out of the springform.)

My Rating: 4/5 "I was in love with the topping to this. Pineapples? Cinnamon? Brown sugar?! Sign me up. But the cake part on the bottom (you know, the Bisquick) came out a little dry. So if you know a way to compensate for that, you're golden.
