Impossibly Easy French Apple Pie

"I think this is like a cross between a cobbler and a cake, rather than like a pie. I baked mine in a small glass baking dish instead of a pie plate, since it is a lot easier for me to cut squares than pie wedges! (Also I have a cover for my square dish.) For the baking mix, I used half Reduced Fat Bisquick and half Hodgson Mills Whole Wheat Buttermilk baking mix. I also used a bit less sugar in the pie part of the recipe since I thought the streusel topping and apples gave it plenty of sweetness. From Bisquick."

  1. The bottom layer is much better if you add a 1/2 box dry french vanilla pudding mix. I use sugar free. It's good!
     
  2. This is one of those Bisquick Impossible pies. I doubled the recipe and made it in a 9X12 cake pan. It turned out fine for what it is and tasted even better the next day (should be refrigerated). I'm torn between whether I would make this again or just some version of apple crisp. I had no problem with the apples separating from the custard-like filling and know not to expect much by way of a bottom crust. In any case, I used Royal Gala apples and would prefer Granny Smith or Jonathan, made sure to use plenty. I can't get enough Streusel topping so I would make even more another time!
     
  3. I am so glad to see this recipe is already posted! I just love making things with Bisquick. I actually saw this on a website this morning called www.backofthebox.com and I'm not surprised that it's already on Zaar! Thanks again.
     
  4. This cake was good on the top part, but the bottom was not good. The bisquick and apples separated and the Bisquick layer formed a rather unappetizing pudding like texture, which really didn't have a flavour. I ended up scraping out the bisquick part and just eating the apples and the top.
     
  5. Definitly easy and tasty. but the bottom crust does come out a little odd...not bad, but odd. Mine seemed like a cobbler/strudel hybrid. Despite the oddness, I will definitly be making this again.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

My husband and I married straight out of college in July of 1992. I work as the Assistant Manager at a wine shop which allows me to drink on the job! (OK, not that much, but it's still a fun job...) Besides helping customers choose wine they will like (and also help with food and wine pairings for their menus), I also get to help with the catering end of the business, so I get to spend a fair amount of time in the kitchen making fun appetizers and beautiful food displays. I also work part-time at the fromagerie next door. So yeah - that means I eat on the job, too. :^D We live on several peaceful wooded acres on a cute little river in rural NE Wisconsin, with a cranky old-lady Burmese and whatever stray outdoor cats that have decided to adopt us on any given day. The cute puppy in the picture is Jake, our Elhew-bred English Pointer that we brought home on Easter weekend 2007. I've also got 2 painted turtles named Dennis and Fuzz, and a bunch of fish (koi and goldfish, along with the guppies & swordtails in the turtle tank). I USUALLY eat and cook healthy, but I rarely pass up dessert, either. I do not eat red meat, and try to limit other animal products, too. I love to bake, although I seem to collect a lot of scone and biscotti recipes which I NEVER get around to making. I bake and eat A LOT of cookies and muffins... I almost always reduce the sugar by 1/4 and use whole wheat pastry flour for at least part of the flour. Those two changes do so much to make recipes healthier without compromising taste. I try to reduce fat whenever I can, too, but while I want to eat healthy, I still want to ENJOY what I eat!!! I seem to give a lot of 4 and 5 star reviews here - I seem to have a pretty good sense of what I like by looking at a recipe before I try it. Thank you to anyone that tries my recipes in return, or photographs them.
