COUNTRY APPLE COFFEE CAKE

Category: Coffee Cake

Coffee Cake:
2 tbsp butter, softened
1-1/2 cups chopped peeled apples
1 (12-oz) can refrigerated flaky biscuits
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/3 cup light corn syrup
1-1/2 tsp whiskey (optional)
1 egg
1/2 cup pecan halves or pieces

Glaze:
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1/4 tsp vanilla
1 to 2 tsp milk

To Make Coffee Cake: Using 1 tbsp butter, generously grease a 9-inch round cake pan or 8-inch square baking pan. Spread 1 cup apples in greased pan.

Separate dough into 10 biscuits; cut each into quarters. Arrange biscuit pieces, points up, over apples. Top with remaining 1/2 cup apples.

In a small bowl, combine remaining 1 tbsp margarine, brown sugar, cinnamon, corn syrup, optional whiskey, and egg; beat 2 to 3 minutes or until sugar is partially dissolved. Stir in pecans. Spoon over biscuit pieces and apples.

Bake at 350 for 35 to 45 minutes or until deep golden brown. Cool 5 minutes. If desired, remove from pan.

For Glaze: In a small bowl, blend together all glaze ingredients until smooth, adding enough milk for desired drizzling consistency. Drizzle over warm cake. Serve warm or cool. Store in refrigerator.
