Among other things, Bisquick was famous for its "Create-a-Crust" pies. You could make a cheeseburger pie, mix the ingredients together and, as it baked, it would make its own crust. One of those pies was a Create-A-Crust Apple Pie. So simple, a few ingredients: Bisquick, apples, Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk, eggs, butter, vanilla. A crumb topping with lots of cinnamon. That was one of our son's absolute favorite pies; he always asked for it for Christmas when he was little and it was always a birthday request. No cake, just that pie. I used to make it fairly often for the guys. It's absurdly easy and made from ingredients that were always hanging around in the kitchen anyway. I have a stoneware "deep dish" baking dish, about 10 inches in diameter and that's the pan I always use for the pie.
Well, I was puttering about in the kitchen yesterday. I keep Bisquick on hand because it comes in handy from time to time., but I don't use it that often anymore. Saw the box in the pantry and figured, oh why not? So I threw together the apple pie and popped it in the oven.
Oh, man, was that pie ever good. Rick came home from work and when he was putting his stuff away, he got into the fridge. He saw the pie and he was smiling when he looked over at me. He loved it, too.
Anybody else still use Bisquick?
