One Size Dinner Does Not Fit All
Delicious Holiday Recipes for Families Big and Small By Donna Smith
1 can apple pie filling
1 package yellow cake mix
1 stick margarine or butter, melted
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
Pour pie filling into a buttered 13x9-inch baking pan. Cover with dry cake mix. Drizzle melted butter or margarine over cake mix. Sprinkle with nuts. Bake at 375 degrees F for 45 minutes or until brown. Serve warm or cold. It's great served hot with vanilla ice cream!
Note: You may also use peach, cherry, etc. pie filling instead of apple.
3 3/4 cups flour
3/4 cup shortening
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3 eggs
1/3 cup milk
8 cups sliced, peeled apples
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 cup crushed cornflakes
1 egg white, beaten
Combine the flour, salt and shortening in a bowl. Mix together with a fork until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add the eggs and milk. Form the mixture into a dough. Cover and place in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, and then divide the dough in half. Roll one half to fit on the bottom and up the sides of a lightly-greased 15x10x1-inch baking pan. Arrange the apples over the crust.
In another bowl, combine the sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and cornflake crumbs. Sprinkle this mixture over the apples. Roll the other half of the dough to fit over the top of the apples. Seal the edges and cut a couple of slits in the top. Brush the top with the beaten egg white. Bake at 400 degrees F for about 15 minutes, and then reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and continue baking about 25 minutes more.
Great served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
