No fuss Chocolate Cake

Need a scrumptious dessert?

Something that tastes ridiculously delicious, but better yet looks like it came out of a gourmet cookbook?

However, you just don't have the time or desire to whip something up?

Here is an easy, no fuss solution that

I have used a couple of times and definitely will many more times in the future.

Directions:

Go to you local market and purchase a Pepperidge Farm Cake from the freezer section. Let it thaw as directed on the box. Slice cake into serving sizes and arrange on dessert plates. Spoon a small amount of whipped topping beside the cake and top with a strawberry (i prefer to use chocolate covered strawberries). Drizzle Hershey's chocolate syrup over cake and topping. And there you have it. A quick fix to your dessert dilemma, that tastes and looks fabulous!

Enjoy!

6-8 apples - cored and sliced
1/2 cup white sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

2.Cook in slow cooker until desired tenderness. I usually cook for approximately 1 hour on high and then switch to low for about another hour and a half to two hours.

Alternate:
These apples can also be baked in the oven on 350 degrees for approximately an hour and a half, or until bubbly and soft, in a 2 quart, greased casserole dish.
These are a perfect side to any breakfast or dinner dish.

Probably my favorite cinnamon apple recipe.
