Unlike the Ugly Apple Dump Cake, this I actually followed the directions to a T. It was still ugly and funky, BUT tasty. I was going to make it cute, add some ice cream or something colorful for a picture...meh. What I used: 18 Oreos, smashed in a Ziploc bag with a flash light. 2 cups of cool whip. 4 swishes of vanilla. 1 cup of powdered sugar. 8 oz of cream cheese. Now. I am going to make this again with only 1 cup of Cool Whip. I like it, but it seemed way too much for the other ingredients on hand. Or maybe add more of the other stuff? All you can taste is the Cool Whip. Smash the cookies, then add the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla to a bowl an have someone else use the hand held mixer to whip it up. Fold in the whip, and then add the cookies. Stir. Stick it in the fridge. I may try to mix it all at once? With the Whip on top, you can't really get the good stuff on the bottom to come up? I need to play with it. I bought graham crackers to use as a dipper, but it's just kind of chilling in the fridge.
I will post updates when I make it again. For something prettier, check out my nephew:

So this ended with The Child going "Next time that you want to bake something, just tell me and I'll do it!" I am that bad. This recipe is super simple, SO tasty, but MAN, can I screw up some baking. What you need: I box of cake mix. Whatever you desire. I looked for spice, but could only find Butter Golden. 2 cans of apple pie filling. I cup of melted butter. (as I have recently learned, 2 sticks=1 cup of butter) Caramel sauce. Chopped pecans. Let me tell you how it was "supposed to go". Heat oven to 350°. Spray a 9x13 pan, dump the cans of apple filling into the pan. Drizzle the caramel over the apples. Sprinkle the cake mix over the apples, then pour the melted butter over the cake mix. Bake for 30 minutes. So....maybe I poured the butter over the apples, then panicked and tried to pour it off into a bowl. I then poured the mix over, but didn't want to add that much more butter. When it was cooked, it was wet and gritty, so I cooked it for 12 minutes more. I forgot to add the pecans. I sprinkled cinnamon over the apples at the beginning. I added pecans to the top with about 5 minutes to go. Imma try to do it correctly next time. It was so very tasty, the consistency of cobbler. It would be good with vanilla ice cream. Jared suggested to add caramel next time. I made some Oreo Dip, which was also a dumpster fire, and he mixed the two together. There are also some questions that are too dumb for me to even type into Google, because I know that Siri will be like "really? Dumbass" Thank you Amber for understanding my no common sense non-baking self. |
