need non pie apple desert
#11
Lynnie, I just peel, core and slice my apples - add about 1/4 cup of Minute Tapioca (it makes the pie thicken) then I squeeze a little bit of lemon juice - add sugar (I use white sugar - sometimes one cup or more) then I add a little bit of brown sugar - not much - finally I shake some cinnamon and small amount of nutmeg - before I put the top crust on - I dab some margarine or butter on top of the filling. Since I've started using the Tapioca I've never had a pie come out runny.

Sprinkle the bottom of a 9x13 pan with 1/4 cup of brown sugar, sprinkle that with a good dusting of cinnamon. Put a single layer of fresh or canned apples over the entire bottom of the pan, dust with cinnamon again. Prepare and mix any cake mix (yellow, spice, gingerbread, etc.) pour over apples and bake as directed on label. Yummy! Always a hit at my house. You can do the same with pears, peaches, berries, etc.

I slice my apples into 9x13 pan with cinnamon, a little lemon juice, and vanilla. Take a white cake mix and mix in a stick of melted butter. This will form a crumble for the top. I dot with butter and bake for about an hour. Sometimes I go ahead and put the apples in while the oven is heating. I mix up the crumble and clean up the kitchen for a little while to let the apples start to bake. Just to make sure they are done. The crumble doesn't take as long as the apples. I don't like biting into a hard apple piece in my pie. I have used canned filling too but it isn't as good. I added caramel the last time and everyone liked that. I even tinted the crumble orange and green for Halloween. Made it look moldy.lol

You could do an apple cobbler, really simple. The one I use has a can of biscuits for the top crust.

I think I will try some of these ideas, I made up a recipe that is easy to do too...I spoon cooked and seasoned apples over a cake mix that has been prepared and put into a 9x11 baking dish ready to put into the oven, just before I put it the oven I spoon apples over the top of the prepared cake mix. The fruit drops down to the middle of the cake. We have to watch our sugar intake, so I do not put icing, but you could ice the cake with any icing you like. I have used canned fruit and fresh (cooked) fruit, nuts make a nice addition.
