APPLE DUMP CAKE OR EASY COBBLER 
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup milk
1/4 tsp. ground ginger
pinch of nutmeg or mace (optional)
1/4 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 (20 oz) can apple filling (plus liquid)

Top:

1/2 cup sugar, for sprinkling
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon, for sprinkling

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Melt butter in pan.

Combine remaining ingredients (except fruit) and beat together just until smooth. (Some lumps can remain.)

Pour batter into pan without stirring. Add can of fruit with juice over the batter (don't stir in).

Combine 1/2 cup sugar with 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and sprinkle over top; do not stir.

Bake in preheated oven for 30-45 minutes or until golden and center is set.

Note: Fresh apples may be used instead of canned when available. Simmer 3-4 large peeled, cored and sliced/chopped apples in 2 cups water or apple juice with 3/4-1 cup sugar. Simmer until tender and cool. Strain out the apples. Measure 1 cup of the cooking liquid for recipe and add to the apples. You should have about 2 1/4 cups apples plus liquid for the recipe.

For extra flavor, you can add a few drops of vanilla (or a vanilla bean), a cinnamon stick, a square of fresh ginger, rum, or amaretto to the cooking liquid. Allow to cool before using.

Apple Dump Cake or Easy Cobbler

 Daphne (North Carolina) says:
Pretty good.. but a little too sweet (for me). I made this recipe with apples from scratch according to the directions and a drop or two of vanilla. I think it was way too sweet this way and not enough spice. Next time I will put some cinnamon in with the apples and add less sugar. This recipe needed the full 45 minutes for it to cook properly. It fulfilled my craving so I'm happy. My husband wanted more crust.

This is a good recipe! I got many complements on it. The next time I would do decrease the amount of sugar and add more spices.

I use a can of apple pie filling and 2 Granny Smith apples with more cinnamon. Takes some of the sweetness away from the pie filling.

 Kelly Crawford (Minnesota) replies:
That's an interesting idea, Janet! Using a combination of canned fruit and fresh fruit is a great way to add flavor without too much sugar. I like your suggestion of adding more cinnamon for extra spice and flavor.
