Apple Cobbler Dump Cake (with fresh apples)

As I mentioned on our Facebook page, the kids and I went apple picking yesterday at a local orchard and came home with 50 pounds of apples!  We'll eat some just fresh and make some into Homemade Applesauce, but we knew we wanted to make some tasty desserts with all those fresh apples.  Luckily, a friend had just pinned  this Fresh Apple Cake by A. Liz Adventures ~ what timing!  An easy recipe using fresh apples and I had all the ingredients on hand.

Doesn't this look yummy?

easy apple dessert

Now wait till you see how easy it is to make.  The kids did 90 percent it themselves (which is good because I was the one who had to carry the 50 pounds of apples through the orchard!)

Here's what you'll need...

* fresh apples (sliced about 1/4" thick ~ we kept the skin on and used about 7 apples)
* box of yellow cake mix
* 1 stick of butter


Here's what to do...

1.  Spray a 9x13" baking dish with cooking spray. (You could easily do it in a smaller dish too, just adjust the amount of each ingredient).

2.  Dump all the apples in the dish and spread them evenly over the bottom.




3.  Pour a layer of dry cake mix over the apples.  (We didn't quite use the whole bag, just enough to cover the apples with a decent layer)

 

4.  Melt a stick of butter and pour the melted butter evenly over the cake mix.



5.  If you're feeling like a real baker, go ahead and sprinkle a little apple pie spice or cinnamon over the top.  (Optional, but my oldest insisted it would make it even more delicious.)


6.  Bake at 350* for about 35-45 minutes until the top is slightly golden and the apples are hot and bubbly.  (Note: with about 10-15 minutes left in the cooking time, peek in at your cobbler.  If you notice there are some dry patches of cake mix, you can sprinkle just a little bit of water on them so it's not powdery.  Then continue baking)

7.  Take out of the oven, let sit for just a few minutes, then serve with a scoop of ice cream!  (I wanted to snap a picture of the kids enjoying their cobbler, but in the couple minutes it took me to photograph my serving for this post, they'd nearly finished theirs!  Take my word for it, though, they loved it!!)

52-Week Money Savings Challenge (with printable)

Hình ảnh
Yay, me!  I made a New Years' Resolution last year and actually stuck with it!  I didn't start working out, lose weight, or finally get my whole house organized.  I did, however, manage to save nearly $1,400 with a 52-Week Money Savings Plan.  It wasn't that hard at all and the money I put aside was able to completely pay for Christmas this year - all the gifts for kids, our family, and their teachers, a new tree, some decorations, and even dinners out during the busy December season. Since it worked so well for me, I thought I'd share it.  It's the perfect way to save for the holidays, but it would also be great for vacation saving or any other big-ticket item. First, here's the week-by-week plan... (Printable HERE ) Here's how I made it work for me... 1.  Save in reverse! When I first saw this kind of plan last December, it started with $1 the first week, $2 the second week and so on until $52 was deposited on the last week.  A commenter mentioned th...

Mockingjay the Movie

“I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central  for Lions Gate. I received a book, products, and a promotional item to thank me for participating.” Is anyone else as anxiously awaiting the Mockingjay Part 1 Movie as we are?  My two oldest and I have been counting down ever since we saw Catching Fire last fall!   I first read the Hunger Games trilogy myself a few years ago.  My kids were just in the early elementary grades and I was volunteering at the book fair at their school.  As we were working, another mom mentioned how much she'd loved the series.  At first I was hesitant... young adult fiction?  teens in a dystopian society battling to survive in a televised game?  I wasn't quite sure about the whole premise.  However, the other mom and I had similar tastes in other books we'd read so I picked up the Hunger Games and started reading.  I loved it, quickly read all three books, and started recommending the...

Saltine Challenge: Can you eat 6 saltines in a minute?

Hình ảnh
Desperate times call for desperate measures.  We've had an overabundance of snow days this winter and the kids are actually getting tired of all the days off school.  When they don't want to play outside anymore and cabin fever is setting in, I've had to reach deep into my bag of tricks to keep us all sane and entertained. Here was a little trick that brought lots of laughs (along with a few crumbs)... This trick was from way back in my college days.  My friends and I learned about it somehow, then challenged people every chance we got.  In all the times we presented the challenge, we never had anyone who was able to do it (and we won tons of free meals and free drinks in the process!). You most likely have the supplies on hand, a box of saltine crackers (salted, not unsalted), a timer, and some willing participants. The challenge is simple... all you have to do is eat (and swallow) the six saltines before the minute timer goes off without getting a drink of water....
