Mother's Day- Apple Pie and Bananaless Banana Pudding

In honor of Mother's day, I baked an apple pie for my mother-in-law, and made bananaless banana pudding for my mom. I do not have a picture of the pudding, but I will include one of the apple pie. Both desserts were a hit.

Easy Apple pie

1 pkg ready made pie crust-buy the crust from the bisuit department that is ready-made. All you have to  
do is unroll it, place it in your pie dish, put filling in, and bake. Simple as that.
1 can apple pie filling

Spray pie pan. Add 1 layer of pie crust. Mix apple pie filling with extra white sugar, cinnamon, and brown sugar in a bowl. Add to pie pan. Place 2nd layer of crust over top of pie whole, or cut in strips. Bake on 450 degrees for 25 minutes, or until crust is golden brown.

*Filling can be subsituted for cherry, blackberry, or any other flavor you like.

Unfortunately, the crust isn't perfect, but it gives the pie more character!

If you like the taste of banana pudding but do not like bananas (it is a texture issue for me), then this next recipe is for you!

Wonderful Bananaless Pudding
