Johnny Appleseed Coffee Cake

The Chocolate Swirl Coffee Cake is still my favorite, but if you're looking for something not as sweet, and a little bit healthier, try this one.

2 cups Bisquick baking mix
2 Tbsp sugar
1 egg
2/3 cup water or milk
Combine, beat vigorously 1/2 minute, Fold in apple
1 cup finely chopped apple (I usually remove the skin)
Also, I often, maybe always, add more milk. It is just too thick.

Topping
1/4 cup sugar
2 Tbsp Bisquick
2 tsp cinnamon
2 Tbsp firm butter or margarine
Mix until crumbly

Spread batter in greased 8 or 9" round or square pan. Sprinkle topping over batter.
Bake 20 to 25 minutes. Serve warm.
