Grandma Barb's Cookie/Cake Pie

I work with a lot of older folks in my day job and Grandma Barb and I got to talking about simple desserts and baking. As I told her, and as you all know, I am a dangerously inept baker, so simple desserts are a-okay with me! This is a recipe she recommended I make for our local hackerspace gathering!

Needed:

• 1 bag Betty Crocker sugar cookie mix
• 3/4 stick of butter
• Pie filling of your choice (I chose apple)
• 2 eggs
• 9x9 round baking pan

...to 350!

Using a bowl large enough for all of the ingredients, put in your sugar cookie mix, 2 eggs, and 1 stick of softened butter. For the butter, I often microwave it for 10-15 seconds. The interior of the stick of butter will melt, but not the outside.

Using just a fork or spoon, I mixed this up! No need for a mixer or anything fancy like that.

Put about 2/3rds of the mix into the pan and spread it evenly on the bottom. You can use your fingers to press this down or in my case, a fork works very well as well.

Put the pie fruit filling on top of this! I chose apples, but I've been told that any pie filling will work.

Once you've got your fruit set, you'll want to put small clumps of the rest of the sugar cookie batter onto the top. I just used my fork for this, clearly not worrying about whether the clumps were round or equal in size :).

50 minutes sounds like a long time, and at first I worried that it'd be too much time! But when it came out, it was perfect!

The little clumps on top became a crust, and the apples kept the batter underneath it moist. It was almost like an apple pie...cake....

Serve with ice cream and enjoy!
