Thanksgiving, my favorite holiday of the year, is just two days away! Our grandchildren will be here this evening, our daughter is driving down tomorrow and everyone else comes in on Thursday morning. This year, we’re having all of BeeBop’s family, minus only his youngest sister, with us for Thanksgiving. They rarely all get together in one place at the same time, so I’m hoping it will be a special treat for them. I just know it’s going to be a great day.
I have the menu all planned, the groceries all purchased, the tables all set and the camera battery charged! The only thing I can’t decide on is one last dessert. I’m making a classic pumpkin pie and my Pecan Cheesecake Pie, which are both delicious, but I need just one more thing. And I think this Gingerbread-Apple Cobbler might just be perfect. It’s quick and easy to make and is really scrumptious. It has three luscious layers – apple pie on the bottom, soft gingerbread in the middle and a crunchy pecan streusel on top. Yum!
Let me warn you, though, that this recipe uses pre-packaged ingredients (gasp!). Yes, a boxed mix and canned pie filling (double-gasp!). I’ll probably have my official food blogger card revoked and get kicked out of a couple of food blogger groups for this, but you know what? I don’t see a thing wrong with it. So what if the ingredients are already measured and boxed for me and the pie filling is cooked and canned. That saves me loads of time that I could spend with my family instead. But, if you want to make up your own gingerbread and peel apples for hours and cook up your own pie filling, please do.
