Ingredients
Bisquick baking mix
2 cups (None)
Cream cheese
3 ounces (Cubed)
Margarine or butter
1/4 cup (Softened)
Milk
1/3 cup (None)
Pie filling
1 (15 ounce) can (Any flavor of your choice)
Cinnamon
1 teaspoon (None)
Sugar
2 teaspoons (None)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2
In a mixing bowl, cut the cream cheese and margarine (or butter) into the Bisquick baking mix using a pastry cutter or two knives until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3
Pour in the milk and blend until a soft dough forms.
4
Turn the dough out onto a generously floured surface. Knead gently 8 to 10 times, then shape the dough into a thick rectangle.
5
Using a rolling pin, roll the dough into a 12 x 8-inch rectangle, adding flour as necessary to prevent sticking.
6
Carefully transfer the rolled dough onto a greased baking sheet.
7
Spread your chosen pie filling down the center of the dough, leaving a border on either side.
8
With a sharp knife, make cuts about 1 inch apart down both sides of the pie filling. Fold the strips over the filling in an alternating pattern to create a braided effect.
9
In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon and sugar together, then sprinkle evenly over the top of the cake.
10
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven on the center rack, and bake for 15 to 17 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden.
11
Check the coffee cake after about 8 minutes. If the top is browning too quickly, lay a piece of foil loosely on top to prevent burning.
12
For an alternative topping, skip the cinnamon and sugar and drizzle with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk once cooled.
