Super easy and also super yummy! I halved the recipe, and used part of a resealable jar of Lucky Leaf premium pie filling. I put raisins on half, but left them off half because I don't like them. I also had some caramel apple dip left over from Recipe#192616, so I drizzled it across the top as soon as I took it out of the oven, then sprinkled with powdered sugar after the 30 minute cooling time. DELICIOUS! I think it would be wonderful to mix some of the caramel apple dip in the filling as well before baking. This has to be the easiest dessert I have ever made, and the taste is better than any apple pie I've ever had. It would be good with a powdered sugar glaze on top as well. I would gladly serve it to company as well! I will gladly make it again, exactly as written, and with the caramel addition. Thanks so much posting such a wonderful recipe Kitten!
