The lesson for today: Prettiness is not a requirement for being so good. It's Friday night, Husboo's away, our daughter is asleep, and I'm stuck in the house with very little in the way of ingredients. Husboo had purchased some Pillsbury Grands biscuits on sale a few weeks ago, and they had yet to be eaten, so I baked most of them up last night to have with eggs and peppers (and to share with the dog). I decided to save a few unbaked dough blobs in the fridge, though, for an idea I had to use the last mega apple that the sweet lady who watches our baby had bought for me. I mean, this thing was huge...definitely the product of genetic engineering. Sure, I feel kind of at odds with eating such processed foods, but I am way more against wasting food at this point.
So, anyway, I peeled and chopped up the monster apple and mixed the pieces with cinnamon, sugar, and cornstarch. Then I buttered up a CorningWare bowl (thank you again, Wedding Registry!), spread the apple pieces in the bottom, and plopped the leftover, unbaked biscuits on top. 20 minutes in a 350 degree oven, and out it came: simple deliciousness. I guess it's the reverse of another favorite lazy recipe: McCormick's Easier Than Apple Pie. Husboo is a big fan of that one and it's super quick and tastes fabulous, especially with Cool Whip or ice cream. But, I digress. Anyhow, though the finished product is less than lovely, it tastes just fine and I feel domestic enough to keep my Mother Martha title for another day. So good!
