Recipe for Apple Crisp

This is a dish that can be made "on the fly," a kitchen term used when a food item needs to be rushed.  If you have a dinner party and have no clue what to make for dessert... here you go!  All you need is four ingredients and about 45 minutes total.  It can even be baking while you are wining and dinning your guests.
Here are the four ingredients for a recipe for Apple Crisp.

• 1 can of apple pie filling
• 1 box of white or yellow cake mix
• 1 cup chopped walnuts
• 3/4 stick butter

In a 9x9 baking dish, spread out the pie filling.  Keep in mind that any pie filling can be used as a substitute. ( I have even tried the cherry pie filling and it is incredible as well.)  

Sprinkle half of the box of cake mix on top of the filling, evenly.  Then add the nuts atop of the cake mix.  Less or more than a cup can be used, it is all personal preference.  

Slice the butter in about quarter inch or less slivers.

Then place the butter slices on the 

dish as evenly as possible.

Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 - 40 minutes.  When it is golden brown and bubbling through, it is ready.  Be sure to let it sit for a couple of minutes before serving as it will continue to cook straight out of the oven.

Once it has cooled, it is ready to scoop and eat.  Try it with some vanilla bean ice cream and let me know what you think.  Enjoy!
