Default with the fruit comes the........

CALORIES!!!!

Friend gave us some apples & blueberries a couple of days ago. Made a
scrumptious apple pie & blueberry cobbler with them.

Easy As Apple Pie:

1 pk (16 oz) deep dish piecrusts
6 cups peeled & sliced apples
3/4 cup sugar (+ tablespoon extra)
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon brown sugar
cinnamon to taste
2 tablespoons butter (chilled, cut into pieces)
1 & 1/2 tablespoons of milk

preheat oven to 425. mix apples, sugars, flour, and cinnamon in large
bowl until apples are throughly coated. Evenly spread apple mixture
into piecrust, scatter butter pieces on top. Fit the second piecrust
over apple mixture, pressing edges to seal & flute. brush top crust
with milk. make slits in top crust to vent. sprinkle with the extra
tablespoon of sugar. bake 40-45 min or until piecrust is golden brown.

Blueberry Dump

2 cups fresh blueberries (or one 16 oz frozen)
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon vanilla flavoring
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (or to taste)
1/2 box white or yellow cake mix
4 tablespoon melted butter

grease crockpot, add fruit, toss with cornstarch. drizzle vanilla, add
brown sugar, cinnamon and then the cake mix. drizzle butter on top.
cover & cook on high 3-4 hours depending on heating variations.

That's my favorite blueberry cobbler. Can use the recipe with any fresh
or frozen fruit.
