Connie Raterink uses on-hand ingredients, including canned pie filling and a cake mix, to create this dazzling dessert. It's fast to fix, looks elegant and tastes delicious, informs the Caledonia, Michigan cook. Ingredients:
1 package yellow cake mix (regular size) |
2/3 cup graham cracker crumbs (about 11 squares) |
1/2 cup butter, softened |
1 egg |
1/2 cup chopped almonds |
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened |
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar |
1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling |
1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, cracker crumbs and butter until crumbly. Beat in egg. Stir in chopped almonds.
2. Press onto the bottom and up the sides of a greased 14-in. pizza pan. Bake at 350° for 11-13 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool completely.
3. In a small bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Spread over crust. Top with pie filling. Sprinkle with sliced almonds. Store leftovers in the refrigerator. Yield: 14-16 servings.
