What to do with applesauce...

This is a coffee cake I made for our Easter Breakfast at church. I have been working on "healthifying" my recipes, so this one is made with skim milk, pineapple and apple sauce.  There's not any oil or eggs in it!  It turned out incredibly light and delicious.  It was so easy to prepare, I will definitely make it again.  If you cut the cake in 10, there's about 5 weight watchers points per slice.  Enjoy!

Pineapple Coffee Cake
Ingredients:
1 cup applesauce
1 cup bisquick
1/2 yellow cake mix
1/2 cup skim milk
1 can pineapple chunks and juice

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees 

2. Mix together applesauce, bisquick, cake mix, skim milk and the juice from the pineapple in a bowl.

3. Spray 9" pie pan and pour pineapple on bottom.  Pour batter on top.  Sprinkle ground cinnamon on top.  Bake in the oven for 30 minutes until toothpick comes out clean.

4. Let cool and serve, or flip coffee cake over onto a serving platter and have Upside Down Pinapple Coffee Cake.
