Quick Apple Streusel

One of my favorite desserts is also one that is simple enough for me to make – Quick Apple Streusel.  It involves 5 ingredients and takes about 1/2 hour, so it’s definitely right for me.

Here’s the directions:

Spread one 21 oz can of apple pie filling into a pie pan.  Mix 3/4 cups of finely chopped nuts, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 1/2 cup of flour, and 3 tablespoons of softened butter together in a separate dish until the butter is pretty well mixed in.  Spread the nut, sugar, flour, and butter mixture in a layer over the apple pie filling.  Bake at 325 for 30 minutes and serve warm with ice cream.

Before serving

The end result is a delicious warm cinnamon, apple, butter mixture with a great crumbly top that goes ridiculously well with just regular vanilla ice cream.

Dish it up!

  1. One of my coworkers just made Crock Pot Cake–a can of blueberry pie filling, topped with a package of yellow cake mix and a stick of butter, on high in a crock pot for two hours. Soooo delicious, especially with that vanilla ice cream!

  2. Yep, I’ve already got this Fravelicious recipe in my box. I think I picked it up from your wonderful wife in college and have never looked back…its also good with fresh fruit and fruit of all varieties. YUM!
