Instant Apple Crisp-5 minute and only 4 ingredients

The yummiest,easiest recipe of Apple crisp! With only 4 ingredients and 5 minutes to put together, this semi homemade dessert will become a must at all gatherings and parties.

As many  of my friends don’t eat eggs, I make this recipe very often. Also called panic Cake, I learnt this recipe from a recipe book that was published by one of the local churches in town. I have played around with different combinations of pie filling and cake mix, but this combination of Apple Pie with Yellow cake mix is the ultimate winner for it classic old fashioned flavors.

Some of my other semi homemade popular desserts using cake mix are Chocolate Chip Pound cake with Chocolate Ganache Icing, and Blueberry Crumble. I love this recipe for its taste and ease of baking. I usually like to assemble it ahead of time and after dinner, while the table is cleared and dishes put away,I put this in the oven and serve it hot with vanilla ice cream. The hot pie with the cold ice cream is a match made in heaven.Bonus the house smells so good, of fall and cinnamon and baked goodies!!

So here is the written recipe followed by the step by step pictorial one-
