Next time you need a something to take to a meeting or social event, here’s a quick and easy coffee cake... a real crowd pleaser!!! Using different pie fillings you can make this seasonal!!! Note: When adding certain pie fillings, I add an additional ingredient to filling, enhancing the flavor. Mixing filling and ingredient(s) together before spooning pie filling into batter: * Apple pie filling, add 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract and 1 tsp. brown sugar * Cherry pie filling, add 1 tsp. almond extract * Raspberry pie filling, add ½ tsp. vanilla
