Apple Coffee Cake – needlery!



	We only have one good apple tree anymore. The others have died, unfortunately, after many years of producing good eating and baking apples. Our one tree did supply us with some really good apples this fall and here’s a quick and easy recipe for: Apple Coffee Cake 2 cups butter pecan boxed dry cake mix one-half cup water 3 apples, chopped – I used 6 smaller ones from my tree 2 tablespoons brown sugar* one and one-half teaspoons cinnamon 1 tablespoon white sugar* *Healthy Option: unrefined sugar (Sucanat or Rapadura) Stir the cake mix and water together. In a separate bowl, mix together the apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and white sugar. Add one-half of the apple mix to the cake batter and pour into greased and floured 9" round or square cake pan. Sprinkle other half of apple mix on top. Bake 40 minutes at 350 degrees.
