If you aren’t a fan of cherries or want to try another filling. Blueberry, strawberry pie filling, or even a homemade raspberry filling would be absolutely delicious too!
Let’s talk about the glaze
The original recipe didn’t have the glaze but I thought that the cream cheese glaze would complement the cherries. I think it just completes it and makes the coffee cake even yummier. I would suggest doubling the glaze if you would like to serve an extra dose on each serving. It’s that delicious!
Since it has a cream cheese glaze, keep it stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container. To serve heat up in the microwave and drizzle extra glaze over the cake or individual serving.
A sprinkling of toasted almonds would be a nice addition as well!
Enjoy!

Ingredients
For the coffee cake
- 1 (21- ounce) can of cherry pie filling
- 1 ½ cups firmly packed light brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons ground cinnamon

- 1 ½ cups (3 sticks) butter, melted

- 4 ounces of cream cheese, room temperature
- ¼ cup (½ stick) unsalted butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- ¼ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 5 to 6 tablespoons of whole milk
- Garnish with lightly toasted sliced almonds, if desired. (Optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 10-inch tube pan or bundt pan.
- Spoon cherry pie filling into the bottom of the greased pan. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon together. Set aside.
- Separate the biscuits and flatten each biscuit to about ¼-inch. Dip in the melted butter and dredge in the sugar-cinnamon mixture.
- Place flattened sugar-coated biscuits over the cherry pie filling. (Arrange in layers ) Continue this process until all the biscuits are layered in the pan.
- Pour any leftover butter over the layers of biscuits and sprinkle leftover (if you have any) over the biscuits as well.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until done. Be careful not to overbake. NOTE: If your biscuits get too brown, tent the pan with foil.
