Cinnamon Apple Coffee Cake from Biscuit Baking Mix

Time for another great recipe using biscuit baking mix. This is an old favorite recipe that came off of the back of commercial biscuit mix when I was a kid. I kept the recipe because I was the one who would make it when mom had some biscuit mix in the cupboard. Every one loved it especially in the winter when I could use mom’s canned apples. We had a couple of apple trees and mom always canned as many quarts of apples that she could get off those trees. They went into pies and other desserts.

I canned 5 quarts of apples last week and one quart didn’t seal. I didn’t want to reprocess the jar because it would turn the apples too soft. A little bird told me to find that old recipe and make a coffee cake to use that quart of canned apples. I would also have a new recipe to post using the baking mix I have posted. It is a delicious coffee cake. Making it from your own mix, makes it easy.
