1/2 cup coarsely chopped pecans
1/4 cup firm butter or margarine
3 tablespoons packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup Fiber One™ original bran cereal
1 cup milk
1 3/4 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 egg whites or 2 eggs
1 medium all-purpose apple (Gala, Haralson, McIntosh), peeled and chopped

Steps:

Heat oven to 375°F. Grease bottom and sides of 9-inch square pan with shortening and lightly flour, or spray with baking spray with flour. In small bowl, mix streusel ingredients; set aside.
Place cereal in resealable food-storage plastic bag; seal bag and crush with rolling pin or meat mallet (or crush in food processor). In large bowl, stir together cereal and milk; let stand 5 minutes. Stir in remaining coffee cake ingredients except apple; beat 30 seconds with spoon. Gently stir in apple. Spread half the batter in pan; sprinkle streusel on top. Spoon remaining batter over streusel; spread to cover.
Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Serve warm.
