Thursday Recipe - Quick Apple Pie Cake and GF version

This is so easy and so fast to throw together. It's tasty, which is also good because it doesn't really keep as leftovers. It's best eaten warm, right from the oven, with a large scoop of ice cream or whipped topping.

I found the recipe in an old 1966 cookbook - Mary Meade's Modern Homemaker Cookbook. Great recipes in that thing.

Quick Apple Pie Cake

2/3 c. sugar, brown or white, your choice
1/3 c. flour, whole or white, your choice
1 t. baking powder
1 egg
1 t. vanilla
1 1/2 c. apples, cored and diced, don't worry about peeling them
cinnamon sugar if desired (3 T. sugar mixed with 1/2 t. cinnamon)

 Heat oven to 350°. Grease an 8" pie pan, set aside.

Stir sugar, flour, and baking powder together. Add egg and vanilla. Stir just until moistened. Add apple. Stir just until mixed in.

Spread in pie pan. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Bake for 20-30 minutes, until lightly browned. Serve immediately with plenty of ice cream or whipped topping.

Apple Cake

1 box butter pecan cake mix
1/2 c. butter, melted
1 c. apple juice
1 can apple pie filling
(Or you can use 1 quart of bottled apple slices instead of the juice and pie filling)

Heat oven to 350°. Dump everything in a mixing bowl. Stir it together. Grease a 9x13 cake pan. Pour in the cake mixture. Spread it out just a bit until it's even. Bake for about 45 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Let it cool for about 15 minutes then serve.

If you want to get fancy, drizzle it with caramel sauce and serve with vanilla or butter pecan ice cream.
