Apple Cinnamon Coffee Cake

Apple pie filling creates pockets of fruit across this cinnamon coffee cake, while sour cream keeps the cake-mix batter soft. A simple powdered-sugar-substitute glaze goes on only after the cake has cooled.

Ingredients

Cake

  • 1 package sugar-free white cake mix, two-layer size
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup fat-free sour cream
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 (21 oz) can no-sugar-added apple pie filling

Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar substitute
  • 1–1 1/2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk or skim milk

Mix and bake

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
  2. Put the cake mix, cinnamon, sour cream, eggs, and water in a large bowl. Beat with a mixer until the batter is smooth.
  3. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared dish. Spoon the apple pie filling over the top so it covers the surface.
  4. Bake for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  5. Set the cake aside to cool before adding the glaze.

Glaze the cooled cake

Stir the powdered sugar substitute with 1 tablespoon of almond milk or skim milk. Add up to another 1/2 tablespoon only as needed to make a drizzleable glaze. Spoon it over the cooled cake, allowing it to run across the apple-topped surface.
