Apple Pecan Coffee Cake

Lightly grease a large cookie sheet. On a lightly floured surface, roll out thawed loaf to a 9″ x 12″ rectangle. Brush with a light coating of egg wash. Mix sugar with spices and ½ cup of pecans. Sprinkle sugar and nut mixture evenly over dough. Roll up dough from 12-inch side and seal seams. Place log of dough seam-side down on prepared pan. Form dough into circle, connecting the ends. Cut dough at 1-inch intervals from the outside (cutting into ¼ inch of center). Twist each piece to the right so that the swirl-side is facing up. Brush dough with melted butter or margarine. Spoon 1-2 tablespoons of apple pie filling into each dough swirl. Sprinkle remaining ¼ cup of pecans over coffee cake. Let the dough rise until double in size. Bake in a preheated 375° oven for 20-30 minutes or until light golden brown. Remove from oven and brush with melted butter or margarine. Let cool on wire rack. Slice and serve.
