No Crust French Apple Pie

This is my “go to” apple pie recipe when I just do not have time (or the desire) to make a full on pie with crust. (Which always seems to take FOR-EV-ER)  This version is delicious and easy to make.  Of course, I always whip out my pampered chef apple-peeler-corer- slicer which makes peeling and slicing (hence the name) very quick and easy.Smile

Ingredients:
(thanks to Betty Crocker for helping me with this one)

6 cups sliced apples (about 6 medium)
1 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 c milk
2 tbsp.  butter (softened)
2 eggs
1 cup bisquick baking mix
Nut Streusel (recipe written out below)

Heat oven to 325°. Grease pie plate.  Mix apples, cinnamon and nutmeg: turn into pie plate. Beat remaining ingredients except Streusel in blender on high speed for 15 seconds.  Pour into pie plate.  Sprinkle with Nut Streusel.  Bake 1 hour or until knife inserted in center comes out clean.  (Be sure to really cook this through, if you undercook it, the bisquick mix can be doughy inside, error on overcooking, it's very hard for this pie to "dry" out.)

Nut Streusel:

3 Tbsp. firm butter
1 cup Bisquick baking mix
1/2 c chopped nuts
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
Optional – 1/3 cup oatmeal (I adore oatmeal with my apples!)
if you add oatmeal just dab a little more butter on the top of the pie before placing in oven.
Cut butter into remaining ingredients until crumbly.
8 servings

See, isn’t that easy!! Yey!  Maybe not my healthiest recipe but I can’t win them all!

Make Large Canvas Wall Art Out of An Old Map

Image
One of my favorite things about thrift store decorating is finding something unexpected and giving it a new life. When I came across an old vintage map, I immediately saw the potential for unique wall art. Instead of leaving it tucked away, I cut it into sections and mounted it onto canvases to create a custom piece full of character and history. If you love decorating with vintage finds and creating budget-friendly home decor, this simple DIY project might inspire your next thrift store makeover. I had previously picked up an old slightly laminated MAP from the same thrift store for a few dollars. I began to wonder what I could do with my map???? Tick tock, tick tock, my creative juices were coming……. Ah Ha!  My son needed something on his wall in his room and since that is where I put the globe how about matching wall art!  I went to Michaels and picked up a bunch of canvases at 40% off.  I traced around the canvas and cut out each rectangle.  The ov...

Pottery Barn Knockoff–Distressed Clock Decor

Image
Ahhhhhh Pottery Barn.  The gorgeous pictures, the GIANT price tags.  If only we could re-create for less everything we see in that magazine.  Well today’s post will give that a try  – Pottery Barn for under $10.00.  Yep, that’s right, this next project cost me around 6 bucks.  When I was at the thrift store I spotted this lonely round board.  It was almost 2 feet around, insanely heavy and covered in laminate but I thought hummmm……this has some CLOCK potential!  So I bought it for a whopping $1.50. Here is the lovely BEFORE picture: And here is the AFTER: Now how I got there.  :-) First I distressed the plastic and wood by sawing the edges, hammering the center, and quickly sanding the entire circle.  I didn’t spend a lot of time doing this because I had another idea to help with the distressing which you’ll see in the next few steps. Next step was to figure out the best way for me to put on the Roman Numer...
