Apple Cherry Pan-Crumble
Here’s a delicious dessert that you are sure to love! This is an awesome dessert that can be quite versatile; whether you’re looking for a sweet dish to bring to a baby or bridal brunch—or even for a family picnic/BBQ, because it’s great at room temperature!! But it’s definitely best served warm with some vanilla ice cream, if you ask me 😉
INGREDIENTS:
CAKE:
- butter (just enough to grease dish/pan; cooking spray is also fine)
- 1 cup Complete Buttermilk Pancake Mix
- 3/4 cup water
- 21 oz. total pie filling; Use ½ of a 21 oz. can cherry pie filling & ½ of a 21 oz. can apple pie filling
- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp. vanilla (or almond) extract
- 2 tbsp. packed brown sugar
CRUMBLE TOPPING:
- 2-3 tbsp. softened butter
- 2 tbsp. pancake mix
- 2 tbsp. granola
- 1/4 tspn. ground cinnamon
- 2 tbsp. packed brown sugar
Get Prepped:
—Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
—Grease your dish/pan.
—Use a pair of kitchen scissors, or a paring knife to chop down the large apple segments into thirds, to mimic the size of the cherries. This is important to ensure an even cook time!
—Mix together crumble topping (all, hold back 1 tbsp. butter) by using a spatula or the back of a spoon and just mash and mix, mash and mix, ect. until it mixes into “crumble” – only use additional tbsp. of butter if it seems too dry when it’s well mashed together.
Assemble It!
1. In a mixing bowl, mix together pancake mix, water, vanilla (or almond) extract, cinnamon and sugar just until the large lumps are incorporated.
2. In a separate bowl, mix together both half-cans of pie filling (after you’ve chopped apples as mentioned above) until evenly mixed together. Be sure to get some of the “jelly” from each can when you’re scooping that fruit!
3. Pour pancake mix into your dish, spreading evenly across pan.
4. Drop tablespoons of fruit all over the pancake mix until you run out!
5. Dot with all of your crumble topping.. also until you run out 😉 That crumble is the best part, don’t waste a BIT!
6. Bake 25-30 minutes or until toothpick or knife comes out clean (choose a more pancake-y part to test, rather than through the fruit)
Let sit 15 minutes to cool, then enjoy!
Serve with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream or powdered sugar.. they’re ALL GOOD!
