Entertaining at Home But You're a Crappy Cook? I Understand

My advice? 

You order out the appe-teasers and the entree ahead of time, transfer them into your own oven-safe dishes, and have them warming in a 200 degree oven as guests arrive. 

What else is warming in that 200 degree oven? 

Oh, I dunno, just dessert-- which you actually "made" yourself that folks will rave about, and it's so easy it's embarrassing for you, me, and them (provided you tell them your secret, and I don't recommend you do). Trust me. I made it for Tuna and his snootsypie, richie pants gay friends on Thanksgiving, and they were beserker for it, so you know it's gotta be good. Or at least taste expensive. They don't appreciate cheap shit, really. 

Too Easy Fruit Cobbler that Will Impress Most of Your Judgemental Gay Male Friends

Ingredients:

  • 2 cans (21 oz. each) apple pie filling
  • 1 pkg. (16.5 oz.) NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Refrigerated Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Bar Dough
  • ANNE'S ADDITIONS that make it seem home made and totally awesome: 
  • 2-3 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 can cherries (sour preferred but dark/sweet ok)
  • 1 cup raisins
  • 1.5 cup Craisins (dried cranberries) with Orange Flavor  
  • Vanilla DREYER’S® or EDY’S® SLOW CHURNED™ Light Ice Cream or whipped topping (optional)

Directions:
PREHEAT oven to 375º F. Grease 13 x 9-inch baking dish or pan. 

SPOON pie filling (mixed w/ lemon juice, cherries, cinnamon, raisins, Craisins) into dish. Crumble cookie dough over filling. 

BAKE for 20 to 25 minutes or until topping is golden brown and edge is bubbly. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped topping, if desired. 

TIP (not Anne's): 2 cans (20 ounces each) light or no-sugar added apple pie filling can be substituted for the regular apple pie filling. If you're a jerk, I guess. Unless you're eating this dessert everyday (and you have no business eating this dessert everyday, because you can't see the tips of your own feet) and if you are for some reason, eating this dessert everyday, I suggest either consuming it full-sugar (as directed) on bank holidays, or not eating it at all, you stupid idiot. What, you wanna die? Go out as a happy fat shit? Ehh, maybe you have a point. 


You're welcome, superstar. You're welcome. I await details on your rave reviews.

I'm waiting.
