I have got 2 20 oz. cans of apple pie filler I need to use up just to thin things out for my move, anybody got any ideas? I have multitypes of flour, cake mixes, spices, other canned goods; unique ideas please.

Make up a batch of pie dough. Use half to make a "free-form" apple pie - roll out dough to a 12 inch round circle on a cookie sheet. Spread a cup and half pie filling to 2" from edge. Fold the edge up and over the filling - crimp/pinch the edging so the filling is cupped in the pie shell. Bake 'til crust is brown, filling bubbly.

Using the other half of dough, roll out to a 8"x12" rectangle. Cut it into 6- 4"x4" squares. Add a tablespoon or so of filling to center of each square, dampen edges with a bit of water, and fold over to form a triangle. Press edges together with a fork dipped in flour. Sprinkle with cinnamon/sugar, bake on cookie sheet 'til brown-n-yummy.

Grease a 9x9 pan, put 2 or so cups filling in pan. Add a crumble or batter or even biscuits to top of filling, bake.

Make up a batch of crepes, warm the filling, and roll them up with the filling - to gild the lily some more, dip or top the filled crepes with whipped cream flavored with applejack!

Top waffles with the warmed filling, stack 3 or 4 of them, and top with some of the whipped cream mentioned above.

Seems to me you might wanna invite some neighborhood kids/teenagers to help you eat some of these creations - otherwise, it'll be years before you'll be able to eat another apple pie!!!!

Not being much in the baking department, I do not know what is used in a pie crust, what about a flakey turnover dough?

If you have some pie irons, use some bread, slap some pie filling between them & heat! YUM!

Hello Mitch, You can fry up the apple filling and serve in with a pork chop! Or you can mix some Bisquit up with them and bake it in the oven as a cobbler. Shoot you can just eat them right out of the can if you want! Its all good!

Sincerely,

Ernest

Simple ideas: turn it into pancake syrup or put it in the pancake batter. Eat it hot on ice cream. Pour it into a buttered pan and top with a biscuit-dough crust (add just a little extra sugar and some cinnamon to the dough) and sprinkle the top with sugar. Make a dough something like tortilla dough, fill with apples and seal the edges turnover-style; fry in fat.

Mitch, my grandma used to make "Lazy Woman's Cobbler". A cup of flour (self-rising), a cup of milk, and a cup of sugar. Mix it all together and pour in a 9 x 13 pan that you have melted a stick of butter or margarine in, dump about 2 cups or so of the pie filling on top, and bake at 350* until the top is browned. It's yummy, especially with ice cream, but you might want company - a 9 x 13 is pretty good size for one!

I like any kind of fruit crisp made with oatmeal, flour,sugar & butter. You put this over the fruit.
