Warm Maple, Ham and Apple Coffeecake

Biscuit dough, ham, apples and raisins baked with sugar and spice and everything nice! This wonderful dish started out as a simple apple coffeecake but I added leftover ham and maple syrup and adjusted other seasonings to give it more body and substance. A great brunch or light supper dish that never fails to bring compliments and requests for the recipe. Excellent use for leftover ham! Walnuts can be substituted for pecans.

In a small mixing bowl combine brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon apple pie spice, maple syrup and egg, blending thoroughly. Stir in nuts, then spoon evenly over biscuit pieces and ham/apple mixture.
