Apple Coffee Cake

Shared by Florence Fox

This coffee cake recipe came from a friend. I changed it slightly to suit my tastes, and now consider it my favorite apple coffee cake. 

1 box yellow cake mix

1 (20 oz) apple pie filling

3 eggs

1 tsp cinnamon

¾ cup chopped pecans or walnuts

Topping:

 ½ cup flour

½ cup brown sugar

½ cup butter, melted

½ cup oatmeal

1 cup mini butterscotch chips

Glaze: 

1 cup powdered sugar

1 ½ TBSP butter, melted

2 tsp lemon juice

Mix all cake ingredients together and pour in greased 9x13 pan. Combine topping ingredients and sprinkle over batter. Bake at 350˚ for 45 minutes. When cool, mix glaze ingredients and drizzle over cake. 

Note from Gina:

I didn't have a cake mix so I substituted my own homemade mix. 

2 1/3 cups flour

3 tsp baking powder

3/4 tsp salt

1 1/2 cups sugar

1/2 cup butter

Mix all the dry ingredients together. Cut in butter. Use as directed in any recipe calling for a white or yellow cake mix. The results in this coffee cake were excellent.
