Caramel Apple Crumble Pie

I'm not a huge apple pie person....I'd rather have chocolate. But IT Guy loves it so I make it for him from time to time. I had some leftover cake mix from another recipe so I used it as a topping for this pie. Remember "dump cakes"? Well...I guess you could call this a "dump pie". It turned out really good and yes..I managed to eat a slice. Or two.

Caramel Apple Crumble Pie



5 – 6 cups peeled, cored and sliced apples (I used Gala apples)
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
½ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 cup dry yellow cake mix
1/3 cup caramel sauce (I used ice cream topping) plus extra for drizzling
1 cube butter ~ melted
1 pie crust (I used ready made but homemade is fine, too)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a medium bowl, combine the apples, lemon juice and vanilla.  Set aside.

Arrange pie crust in a 9-inch pie pan and drizzle with the 1/3 cup caramel sauce.

In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and cornstarch.

Sprinkle sugar mixture over apples then pour into the crust.

Sprinkle dry cake mix over the apples the drizzle the melted butter over the top.

Bake for 45 minutes until golden brown and the apples are done.

Cool to room temp, slice then drizzle with extra caramel sauce.

Serve with vanilla ice cream.

Oatmeal Cherry Crumble Bars

This makes a big ole pan of goodness, right here. These easy bars are perfect for a snack or breakfast or to throw in a lunch. Warmed, with a big scoop of ice cream would be a little bit of heaven, I think. If you've of a mind, stir a dash of almond flavoring into the cherries before adding it to the crust. Then sprinkle some sliced almonds on the top crust before baking! So delish!

Oatmeal Cherry Crumble Bars



1 21-ounce can cherry pie filling
1 cup packed light brown sugar
2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cup rolled oats

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray an 9x13 inch pan with cooking spray.

Combine brown sugar, flour, baking soda, salt, and rolled oats.

Cut in the butter with a pastry blender until crumbly.

Press 3-4 cups of the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan.

Spread the cherry pie filling almost to the edge.

Sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture over the top, and press lightly.

Bake for 35 to 40 minutes in preheated oven, or until lightly browned.

Allow to cool then cut into bars.
