Super Easy, Moist and Scrumptious Apple Crumb Cake

 

 

I had found a recipe on Pinterest the other day that sounded pretty good and really easy,

which is always a plus for me!

 

The cake calls for a box of cake mix, a can of any flavor of pie filling and 3 eggs.

Simple enough,

but I had to upgrade it a little!

 

 

So here's my version of the cake.

1. a box of white cake mix (that's what I had on hand)
2. 3 eggs
3. 1 can of apple pie filling
4. 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
5. 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg
6. 1 teaspoon vanilla

I mixed the eggs and the cake mix together until all the dry was wet and then added everything else.  I only mixed it with the mixer for about 30 seconds, just enough to get it all combined.  I put it in a greased 9x13 cake pan

 

and

 

then I added my daughter Mallory's favorite muffin topping.

 

 

1. 1 stick of butter
2. 1 cup of brown sugar
3. 12 Tablespoons of flour
4. 2 Tablespoons of cinnamon
5. 1 cup of  dry oatmeal

 

I just mixed all the ingredients together for a minute or so with the mixer and then sprinkled it over the top of the cake.  I then baked it at 350 for 30 minutes or so.

 

Moist, full of flavor and super easy!

Super Easy, Super Quick and Oh So Super Yummy--Breakfast, Brunch or Even for a Dessert!

I finally have internet access again!

Yay!

I can't find my camera though to post pictures of what all I've been making....

I know.....

it's sad....

and frustrating.

 

So I'm going photoless on this post.

Actually, I hate posts without photos,

I'm more of a vision and touch person,

so if the word "photoless" sounds a little dirty....

I would have to agree.

 

 

 

Anyway,

 

I saw a recipe on Pinterest, but I forgot to Pin it.

Fortunately it only had 4 ingredients so it was easy to remember.

Of course I had to embellish the recipe some and make it Super Yummy!

 

The Original Recipe called for

1. 6 eggs
2. 1 cup of flour
3. 1 cup of milk
4. dabs of butter

Next, you were suppose to mix up the first 3 ingredients, dump in a baking dish sprayed with nonstick spray, put dabs of butter over the top and bake for 25 minutes at 400 degrees.

 

Okay, I was starving, and felt the need to be more creative, so here's what I concocted

1. 4 teaspoons of lemon juice to the
2. 1 cup of  milk.....then
3. 1 teaspoon of vanilla
4. 6 eggs
5. 1 thinnly sliced banana
6. about 1/3 of a cup of brown sugar
7. 1 cup sifted flour

 

I mixed all that up, dumped it in sprayed baking dish, added the dabs of butter on top and then sprinkled some more brown sugar on top.  I baked it for 25 mins at 400 degrees and Oh my goodness....Yum!

 

It turned out so good!!

It kind of reminds me of a thin bread pudding.

Moist, flavorful and easy.

That's what I'm talking about!

Giveaway, Game and On The Home Front

Make sure and check out Dawn, Heather, Kathy, Gretchen and Mallory's blog. They joined in yesterday and they have some "small talk" on their blogs too. Thanks for joining and mingling everybody!

I decided to keep the giveaway for this week a surprise.

I'll send a wrapped gift to the winner so they will be surprised when they receive it

and then I'll post what the giveaway was afterwards!

Is the suspense building?? I hope so!!

I thought for today's game we would play

Truth or Dare

I'll start :
I think the best and funniest thing I ever did on a dare, I think it was a dare---it is the truth though, anyway, when I was about 13 and my parents were going out of town (I hope my mom isn't reading my blog today!!) I stayed at one of their friends homes P & J. P & J had a daughter the same age as I was named JK. We always had a great time when I would stay over.

Okay let me set the scenery up here. Next door to JK’s house was a house where several nuns lived. Across the street was the Catholic Church and School that JK attended. A couple houses down on the other side of JK’s house was a very busy main street with another church.

So one night when we were bored, this was in about 1974, one of us got the idea (I’m sure it wasn’t me!) to go streaking. So one night we took all of our clothes off and put our shirts over our heads and ran down the busy street and around the corner back to JK’s house. This got our adrenaline going and it was so fun to us 13 year old!

Is anybody singing the Streak Song by Ray Stevens yet??

Oh, yes, they call him the Streak

Look at that, look at that

Fastest thing on two feet

Look at that, look at that

He's just as proud as he can be

Of his anatomy

He goin' give us a peek

Oh, yes, they call him the Streak

Look at that, look at that

He likes to show off his physique

Look at that, look at that

If there's an audience to be found

He'll be streakin' around

The next night we decided to do it again, but with a twist. We got naked again, put our shirts on our heads and went up to the nuns door and rang the doorbell. Wouldn’t you know it, as our luck would have it, a police man drove by. Omg! We started running as fast as we could. We’re running as fast as we can through peoples front yards naked and with shirts covering our faces. All the sudden some dumb person has a hedge in the middle of our path. JK new it was there, but not me. I jumped but to late, I fell on the pavement. I got up and ran as fast as I could. We hid somewhere, I don’t remember where, and then snuck back to where our clothes were. We got dressed and went back into JK’s house giggling and so proud of ourselves for not getting caught.

The next morning P & J asked if we were out knocking on doors and running late last night. The nuns called them and said about 10 -15 minutes after someone knocked on their door and ran they saw P & J’s back door open up and 2 girls walk into the house. Well, of course we DIDN’T do it!! How stupid would we be to do that to the house right next door! We were just sitting on the back porch talking!! I don’t know if they believed us or not. I don’t even know if the nuns realized we were naked because we both had such good bikini tans that it kinda looked like we had swimsuits on.

When my parents came back we were upstairs listening to the adults talk and they decided they were pretty sure that JK and I would never do anything like that! I’m not sure if they were just trying to convince themselves or if they really believed we didn’t.

What is your funniest dare story??
Can you share it on your blog with us??
