Country Apple Coffee Cake won the 31st Pillsbury Bake-Off in 1984. Recipe on Pillsbury.com by Susan F. Porubcan of Jefferson, Wisconsin. This is a super easy yet impressive breakfast. Great for your guests at the holidays. It even has some booze. That's right, there's whiskey in it. It's only 1 ½ teaspoons but you could add more if you're feeling festive.
Start by putting chopped apples in a greased pan. I prefer Granny Smith.
Add chopped biscuits.
Then add a mixture of butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, corn syrup, whiskey, egg and pecans. Spoon over biscuit pieces and apples.
Bake at 350°F for about 40 minutes. Let cool and drizzle with icing. Easy peazy! And your guests will ooh and ah.
