WHAT AN EASY WAY TO MAKE APPLE PIE IN A DISH! 

So when you are craving an apple pie but not the work involved in it, try my Warm Apple Crisp with Friendly’s Vanilla Caramel Swirl Ice Cream! It’s a crowd pleasure for sure! With just six simple ingredients, you will wow your family and friends, especially as a dessert for your Thanksgiving meal! 

Although you still have to slice apples, once you get in the groove of slicing them, it really doesn’t take long. I doubled the recipe here because my family always has seconds at dessert time! 

DO YOU USE A KNIFE OR A PEELER TO PEEL YOUR APPLES?

I have always used a pairing knife to peel my apples, but many people use a peeler. I slice them in half, then in quarters, cut out the center seed section, and slice the skin off lengthwise. Slice and repeat! Yet I see so many people use a peeler! I did try it a couple times, but I feel like I can’t catch the skin and I end up destroying the apples! 

Once the apples are peeled, the rest is easy peezy!

Just combine the butter, sugar and flour in a food processor or blender, pulse until it becomes crumb-like, pour the water over the apples, sprinkle the Pumpkin Pie Spice, and spread out the crumb mixture over top! Bake and serve warm with a Vanilla Caramel Swirl Ice Cream! Everyone will go nuts over it!

So until next time,

Let’s get cooking’ and bakin’ together,
