Grandma Kathy's Peach Streusel Coffee Cake (Family)

 This coffee cake is very simple and tasty! It also makes a nice cobbler style dessert that can be served alone or topped with whipped or ice cream.

Preheat oven to 350*.
Grease and flour a square pan.
Drain: 1 15 ounce can of peaches (Reserve liquid.)

1 ½ cups Bisquick (Trader Joe's Buttermilk Baking Mix or Homemade Baking Mix)
½ cup sugar
½ cup milk, water (or juice drained from peaches)
2 Tablespoons shortening
1 teaspoon vanilla
1egg

Beat at medium speed for an additional 4 minutes. Pour into pan. Bake for15 minutes. Remove from oven and carefully place peaches on top of partially cooked batter. Top with Streusel Topping.

Streusel Topping:
Mix 1/3 cup Bisquick (or baking mix), 1/3 cup brown sugar. ½ teaspoon cinnamon,
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg and 2 Tablespoons chilled butter until crumbly.
Return to oven for another 15 – 20 minutes or until lightly browned and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

Note:
I prefer peaches packed in juice. If the peaches are packed in a light or heavy syrup, do not add to batter. The nutmeg is optional. (I like it with peaches.)
Experiment by replacing the peaches with other fruits or pie filling.
This recipe can be doubled and baked in a rectangular pan.
