Apple Pie Coffee Cake

Servings: 14
Comments:
So nice served as dessert at brunch, or at an afternoon tea served with coffee, tea or a warm cup of hot mulled apple cider. A definite "comfort food", especially on a chilly day.........Diana


Ingredients:
1 package (18 1/4 ounces) spice cake mix
1 can (21 ounces) apple pie filling
3 eggs
3/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Nonstick cooking spray, for coating cake pan

For the Glaze: (optional)
2/3 cup confectioners' sugar
2 teaspoons milk

*If you don't have almond extract on hand, you may substitute it with vanilla extract.


Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 C). Spray a 10-inch bundt or tube pan with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.

Set aside 1 tablespoon cake mix. Set aside 1 1/2 cups pie filling.

In a mixing bowl, combine eggs, sour cream, water, oil, extract and remaining cake mix and pie filling. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Pour half into the prepared 10-inch bundt or tube pan.

Combine the brown sugar, cinnamon and reserved cake mix; sprinkle over batter. Spoon reserved pie filling over batter to within 3/4 inch of edges; top with remaining batter.

Bake at 350 degrees F (180 C) for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack. When cake has cooled, drizzle with glaze, or if desired dust cake with confectioners' sugar.
