Dianne to the Rescue!

A friend called out on Facebook (Hey, Joe Davis!) needing an easy dessert. Dianne to the rescue! This is another Pampered Chef recipe and one of my favorites. I just hope I'm not too late!




Banana Cream Supreme
16 graham crackers crushed or 1 1/4 c. crumbs
1/4 c. melted margarine
3 T. sugar
1 container (12 oz.) whipped topping
1 c. sour cream
1 package (3.4 oz) vanilla instant pudding and pie filling
3 medium bananas, sliced
2 T. pecans

Combine graham cracker crumbs and melted margarine. Press mixture onto flat bottom of springform pan (you could also use a pie plate). In a bowl, whisk together whipped topping and sour cream. Add pudding mix and combine well. Spread half of the filing over crust. Slice bananas over filling. Spread remaining filling over bananas. Crush pecans (I place them in a plastic storage bag and zip shut then crush with a rolling pin or meat mallet). Sprinkle over filling. You can garnish with raspberries if you like. You can eat this immediately or refrigerate for 30 minutes to reach a colder serving temperature.

Best-Ever Apple Pie--Really!

You just can't beat a good ol' American apple pie for a great dessert. This recipe was featured in the September 2008 issue of Southern Living. It has five pounds of apples in it!! The picture above is the picture of the pie I made. It was so good! As you read the recipe, you will notice that the crust is a little different--it has cornmeal in it. It also uses apple juice as the wetting agent. The trick is rolling the top crust out large enough to cover that mound of apples. If you love apple pie, try this one. I don't think you'll be disappointed!
