    Easy Apple Crisp featuring M&M's® Pecan Pie

     

    School started yesterday for my kids.  Bittersweet.  I could use some alone time, but I am all talk, I will miss those little buggers.  With school comes the reminder that fall weather is right around the corner.  It’s already begun to cool off at night quite a bit here.  I can feel summer slipping away pretty quickly.  While that is a bit sad, the major upside is that fall cooking is THE BEST!

    Comfort food is at it’s peak in the fall.  Casseroles, apples, pumpkins and pies; you can’t go wrong with the flavors of fall.  Pretty soon we’ll be apple picking.  Oh gosh, I love apples and all the tasty treats that come after apple picking.

     Speaking of apples, have you ever thought about a fruity recipe you love and then realized “that would be so much better with a hint of chocolate”?  That’s exactly what went through my mind the other day when I set out to bake my short cut apple crisp.  It’s a shortcut recipe because I use yellow cake mix for the topping in lieu of measuring out flour, sugar and spices.  Sometimes I add oats to it and sometimes I don’t.  It all depends on how I’m feeling.

    I hit Walmart to grab me some M&M’s® and in the display was something that caught my eye – M&M® Pecan Pie!  Lightbulb went off.  I think you know where this one is heading.  For those of you who aren’t sure still, I am putting the M&M’s® Pecan Pie IN THE APPLE CRISP!!!  Seriously.  I know.  How great is that, a combination of Pecan Pie and Apple Crisp.  It’s like two best friends getting married!

    Feel free to plop a big ole scoop of vanilla ice cream on top of your crisp.  I don’t roll that way but my husband does.  In fact, I was all about apple. I just couldn’t get enough, so I washed my crisp down with a Snapple® Apple!  Just so happens I picked up a few of the singles while I was checking out at Walmart too.  How convenient for me, huh.

      Hmm, I wonder if that flavour has made it to Canada. You guys always have the neat flavours in the U.S 🙂 I love the idea of using cake mix for the crisp topping!

      I would never have thought of using M&Ms in an apple crisp. What a clever clever idea. I have to try it now.

      My daughter would love this. I can picture her eating the crisp all around the M&M’s and saving them until the end.

      Usually, I’m not a pecan pie person.. So without seeing the M&M’s used in this recipe I don’t know that I would have tried them – But now I’ll be keeping my eye out for them!
