2-Ingredient Cinnamon Apple Cake

This was another Pinterest find, though I'm not sure where it originated. It looked way too simple not to try. Indeed, it came out like a warm cobbler and made for a very satisfying treat. All-in-all this is a nice, quick dessert when you need something quick for a sweet finish.

Ingredients:

  • 1 can of apple pie filling
  • 1 box of dry angel food cake mix
Instructions:
  • Mix the 2 ingredients
  • Pour into a greased 9x13 pan
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until the top browns
Believe it or not...that's all! Enjoy!

Magic Cookie Bars

These are so easy, but I find they are a surprise to a generation that didn't grow up with them. So this may be a mundane recipe to some, though worth posting!

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted 
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs 
  • 1 (14 ounce) can EAGLE BRAND® Sweetened Condensed Milk 
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate morsels 
  • 1 cup butterscotch morsels 
  • 1 1/3 cups flaked coconut 
  • 1 cup chopped nuts 

Directions

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees F (325 degrees for glass dish). Coat 13x9-inch baking pan with no-stick cooking spray. 
  • Combine graham cracker crumbs and butter. Press into bottom of prepared pan. Pour sweetened condensed milk evenly over crumb mixture. Layer evenly with chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, coconut and nuts. Press down firmly with a fork. 
  • Bake 25 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool. Cut into bars or diamonds. Store covered at room temperature. 

These always bake up better in a glass pan.
