Yep - that's our ingredient of the week - APPLE PIE FILLING - canned or bottled - off the grocer's shelves or homemade and out of the pantry or freezer (I make my own and I can and freeze it) good ol' APPLE PIE FILLING!


Caramel Apple Trifle

1 two-layer yellow cake - honmemade is best - but use a box if needed
6 cups cold milk
3 packages (3.4 ounces each) instant vanilla pudding mix
1 teaspoon apple pie spice
1 jar (12-1/4 ounces) caramel ice cream topping
1-1/2 cups chopped pecans, toasted
2 cans (21 ounces each) apple pie filling
2 cartons (16 ounces each) frozen whipped topping, thawed


Prepare and bake cake according to recipe/package directions, using two greased 9-in. round baking pans. Cool for 10 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely.
In a large bowl, whisk milk, pudding mixes and apple pie spice for 2 minutes. Let stand for 2 minutes or until soft-set.
Cut one cake layer if necessary to fit evenly in an 8-qt. punch bowl. Poke holes in cake with a long wooden skewer; gradually pour a third of the caramel topping over cake. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup pecans and spread with half of the pudding mixture.
Spoon one can of pie filling over pudding; spread with one carton of whipped topping.
Top with remaining cake and repeat layers. Drizzle with remaining caramel topping and sprinkle with remaining pecans. Refrigerate until serving.

1 ready made graham cracker pie crust (6 oz.)
1 can (20 oz.) apple pie filling
1 package (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 large eggs
1 bottle (20 oz.) caramel syrup

Topping: (optional)
40 pecan halves, toasted*

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 C). Place pan with pie crust on baking
sheet; pour 1/2 can of apple pie filling into crust and spread evenly. Set
aside.

2. With a mixer, beat together cream cheese, sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla
until fluffy.

Add eggs, one at a time, mixing after each addition; pour filling over apple
layer. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until center is almost set. Let cool
completely.

3. Prior to serving, garnish (in this order) with remaining apple pie
filling, caramel syrup (pour in a swirl design over apple pie filling), and
toasted pecan halves around edges of pie.

Apple Stuffed French Toast


1 loaf Italian bread -- or French bread
1 can apple pie filling -- or peach, cherry, etc.
2 eggs
milk
butter
confectioner's sugar
cinnamon butter -- for serving

Cut bread into THICK slices - about 1 1/2"; on the bottom, cut a pocket (be careful not to slice through the sides or all the way to top of bread - you want a pocket); if using apple or peach pie filling, dice so pieces are not so large (just put scissors in can and snip away - it doesn't have to be perfect);

Carefully stuff each piece of bread with filling -you may stick one or two toothpicks straight thru just to hold until you start cooking.

Mix egg and milk together; dip each stuffed pocket in the egg/milk mixture, turning to ensure both sides are soaked.

While pockets are soaking, melt butter in pan; when heated and pockets have soaked up enough egg/milk mixture, transfer to heated pan and cook on both sides til golden.

Transfer to plate;dust with confectioners sugar; top with a dollop of cinnamon butter; serve with warmed maple syrup -- although you won't need much, as the pie filling gives a nice sweet flavor.
 
Apple Enchilada

5 (21ounce) cans apple pie filling
30 (8 inch) flour tortillas
1 tbsp & 2 tsps ground cinnamon
2-1/2 cups butter
2-1/2 cups white sugar
2-1/2 cups brown sugar
2-1/2 cups water


Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 2 quart baking dish.
Spoon about one heaping quarter cup of pie filling evenly down the center of each tortilla. Sprinkle with cinnamon; roll up, tucking in edges; and place seam side down in prepared dish.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine butter, sugars and water. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly; reduce heat and simmer 3 minutes. Pour sauce over enchiladas and let stand 30 minutes.
Bake in preheated oven 20 minutes, or until golden.


This is really a no-brainer - you don't need a recipe at all - if I am using 2 jars of my filling for one pie (for instance) I may have a bit left over - so I'll make a couple of these.
 
Going back to a recent post and all the waffle recipes. Waffle and apple Ala mode. I can my apples too and love to use the filling that has been heated in the microwave and then served over a waffle with a nice scoop of vanilla ice cream, and then topped with Maple Syrup.
