Apple Streusel Coffee Cake

I just had to make a nice breakfast on Thanksgiving. I just felt we needed something better than cereal. It was a holiday after all. However, with all of the cooking we would be doing I didn't want to go overboard with breakfast. This is why I am happy I keep muffin mixes in my cupboard. You can easily make things other than muffins with them and not have to do a lot of work. This recipe comes from the Jiffy Website. I originally saw it on a box of muffin mix. I altered the recipe slightly because I remembered making it in the past and the streusel didn't work quite right.

I'm sorry, but I've turned word verification on again. I hate trying to decipher the words just as much as anyone, but I'm getting way too much spam. I tried doing comment moderation as people suggested but the number or spam comments I had to sift through was ridiculous. I appreciate your comments and didn't want them to get lost among the spam. Hopefully, I can reduce the amount of spam and turn the word verification off soon.
