Quick & Easy Shortcut Apple Crisp {#GIVEAWAY}

All you have to do is glance through my recipes and know that I like to keep things quick and easy. I like shortcuts, I like "semi" homemade, I like FAST. With 3 kids (and 2 dogs) always running around, I need to be able to make things that don't require a lot of concentration or time! Or expense, for that matter. However, regardless of how long it takes to make, or the ingredients in it, the bottom line is you want it to taste good. Duh, right?!

I had a brunch to go to the other day, and wanted to make a couple of smaller dishes instead of one large one. (I'll be posting the other recipe next week, it involves one of my favorite things...biscuits!) One of the nice things about the Chinet Bakeware I used is that not only is it disposable, but it comes in various sizes. For this apple crisp, I used the 7 x 11, and you can double the recipe to make a full 9 x 11. It will also work in an 8 x 8 or 7 x 9 inch pan, you're layers will just be a little thicker, which would not be a bad thing! I adapted the crisp from one of my favorite desserts, Dump Cake! (Another quick and easy recipe that is always a hit.) 

Quick and Easy Apple Crisp

1 can apple pie filling 

1/2 box cake mix (dry) (Can use white, yellow, or spice flavor)

1/2 cup rolled oats

1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 stick butter, melted

*I think raisins would be good in this to, but realized I was out at the last minute!

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. 
• Spread apple pie filling in bottom of baking dish. 
• Sprinkle dry cake mix in an even layer over top, followed by oats, nuts (if using), then brown sugar.
• Pour melted butter over the top and bake until golden brown, approximately 45 minutes or until golden brown on top and bubbly around the edges.

So simple, yet so tasty! It was great for brunch, but you could also plop some vanilla ice cream and caramel topping over it and make it dessert :-) 

I've talked about Chinet Bakeware before (here and here) so you probably already know that they are disposable baking pans that come with plastic lids, so you can bake, cover, and carry all in the same dish. (And freeze if you want!) If you have not had the opportunity to try them yet, and would like to, Chinet has generously offered another giveaway for you! 

One winner will receive a set of Chinet Bakeware including one of each size: 

8x8 Square Pan

7x11 Large Oval Pan

9x11 Rectangle Pan

7.25x9 Small Oval Pan
