Impossibly Easy French Apple Pie

Submitted by Vino Girl

"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."

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.
