When you have tons of kids, you don't have the luxury of taking time off just because of a little debilitating chronic illness. Since I can't seem to get everybody to buy into the idea of "family fasting", I am always on the lookout for what I call "hooker recipes"... fast, cheap and easy.
This recipe for apple cake takes minutes to throw together, and having an awesome dessert on hand makes everyone feel a little less deprived, even if all they got was scrambled eggs and toast for dinner because Mom was on her deathbed again.
Lazy Day Apple Cake
Core and slice (peel if you want... I don't bother) however many apples you have on hand. Or pears. Or peaches. Or strawberries and rhubarb. Or whatever.
Sprinkle a yellow or white cake mix over the top. Sprinkle with 2 Tbsp. sugar (white or brown... whatever) and 1 Tbsp. cinnamon. Dot with a stick or more of margarine (or butter... or coconut oil...).
Bake at 350F for about half an hour until the fruit is all bubbly and gooey.
Serve with ice cream, or coconut cream, or milk, or almond milk, or Cool Whip, or whipped cream, or whatever.
