So we're seriously patting ourselves on the back over this genius insight here at Potluck Paradise headquarters. We sang the praises of our quick-from-the-freezer Apple Crisp earlier in the month (February 11 to be exact -- you can link from the blog topic below in the right column)
We do really love this dessert, but lately thoughts of pending swimsuit season have had us skipping treats as an unnecessary added course. So what were we to do with the 37 bags of quick pie filling taking up space in the freezer? Sure, it will be some months before we have fresh, local, picked-from-the-orchard pie apples and working in the garden will burn off calories so we can indulge again. Maybe there was a way to use some of them up.
And then... we spied the two small sweet potatoes in the veggie bin, hardly a serving and a half between them. Apples and sweet potatoes are a great combination. So we quickly peeled, diced, and steamed in the microwave. Then cooked the pie filling in the microwave as well and tossed the two together. Some pecan bits on top! A superior side dish in a microwave minute -- or ten.
We had converted those two potatoes and pie filling into at least four servings. Not bad.
