How To Make Cinnamon Coffee Cake with Apples and Blueberries

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Spray 10 X 15 inch baking pan (Pyrex baking dish, casserole dish or round stoneware baking pan) with vegetable spray.
Melt butter and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Set aside.
Whisk together eggs, milk and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl.
Add sugar to the milk mixture and beat or whisk well.
Add melted and slightly cooled butter and mix again.
With a large plastic spatula or wooden spoon, fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients and mix only until moistened and blended. Do not over mix the coffee cake batter.
Mix all streusel topping ingredients together in a small bowl, until it looks crumbly and is well combined.
Spread half the coffee cake batter into prepared baking dish. Spread half the apple pie filling on top of the coffee cake batter with an off-set spatula. Evenly sprinkle half the fresh or frozen blueberries on top. Sprinkle half the streusel topping over the blueberries.
Repeat with the remaining coffee cake batter, apple pie filling, blueberries and finally the rest of the streusel topping.
Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 45-55 minutes or until coffee cake springs back when touched, or knife comes out clean. Baking time could take a little longer depending on how much moisture the blueberries have in them.
Carefully remove from oven and place on a wire rack to cool. The Blueberry Coffee Cake can be eaten warm, or cool and refrigerate or freeze for later. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar before serving.
Serves 15-24 pieces depending on how big the slices are. This coffee cake recipe can be divided in half.
