I meant to post these earlier but got swept up into All Things Christmas after returning home from the December Weekend Scrapbooking Retreat. Which is a bummer because the Cherry Coffeecake would have made for *the perfect* Christmas Day breakfast.
At least it did for my family :)
Perhaps you could save it to use on Valentine's Day. With all of the red (cherries) and white (icing) it really would be a spectacular breakfast then as well. I must confess that it is rather sweet and gooey so it is served best with something salty. Like bacon. Lots of it.

You'll want to begin with a box of yellow cake mix. (I already warned you it was sweet and gooey.) Mix 1-1/2 cups of the cake mix with 2 eggs, 2/3 c. warm water, 2 packets of instant dry yeast, and 1 c. of flour.
Spread it into a 13"x9" pan and top with pie filling.
In a separate bowl, mix remaining cake mix with margarine until mixture is crumbly and sprinkle on top of pie filling.
Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes and drizzle glaze over warm cake.
And enjoy!
The full recipe is below:

Too, those of you who attended the retreat can attest to the truly divine nature of the dips made by Kim that weekend. I've since had requests for the dip recipes and thought I'd better get those up pronto as well. (Superbowl Sunday is coming up after all.) Here you go!
Kim's Bacon Ranch Dip
16 oz. of Sour Cream (I use the good stuff no lite or fat free)
1 jar of Real Bacon Bits (found in salad dressing aisle)
1 packet of Hidden Valley Ranch Mix
1-1/2 cups of shredded cheese (almost a full bag)
Mix, chill and enjoy with wheat thins (another cracker would work too, I just always use wheat thins).

Kim's Queso Dip
16 oz of Velveeta Cheese (cube and melt in pan on low heat)
1 can of Rotel Tomatoes (added it to the pan of cubed cheese)
While this is melting together, cook a tube of Jimmy Dean sausage in a pan, drain and then add to the cheese mixture when it is all melted. (I usually put the contents in a crockpot on low, or keep warm setting.)

We also enjoyed a tasty pumpkin dip (courtesy of Crystal). I'll try to hunt that one down as well!
