Impossible French Fruit Pie

Sunday, October 20, 2013
If you're not especially fond of baking this easy all-in-one pan fruit pie makes it's own crust using a baking mix and fresh fruits called Impossible French Pie.

The recipe uses fresh fruit, baking mix, and easy pantry ingredients and has a streusel topping much like a Dutch Apple Pie with cinnamon spice flavors.
I remember mom always having the box of baking mix out and knew immediately we were getting a fresh fruit pie from our apple tree.

The combination of fruit pie is endless and if you're a rhubarb lover don't hesitate to try this with that summer delight!

We also had a blueberry bush, a boysenberry bush, and a peach tree, so we dabbled in many combinations with apples and berries mixed together and had a different pie every time she baked it.

This is a recipe adapted from the Bisquick baking mix, although you can use any generic brand, we added to that basic recipe and came up with our own version.

If you're not much of a fruit pie lover, we also include an "Impossible Pumpkin Pie" recipe all in one pie plate and that crazy crust bakes right in that one also plus we also make Savory Impossible Pies you may like to try!

Pumpkin Bread or Muffins

Tuesday, October 8, 2013
This recipe for the best and easiest to make Pumpkin Bread is from the 1950s and mom always made this as soon as our pumpkins were ready to pick from dad's garden.

I tried so many recipes for this bread over the years and still come back to mom's it really is the best when it comes to moist, flavorful, and shouting pumpkin spice flavors.

The recipe can also be made with pure canned pumpkin and molded into muffins or even smaller loaves to give as gifts to family and friends during the holiday like she did.

The smell of this pumpkin bread baking alone will hook you forever on making this recipe from scratch with that good old-fashioned aroma of cinnamon throughout the house.

We often spread the pumpkin bread with cinnamon butter or cream cheese for a perfect after-dinner or breakfast treat.

You can even turn this into a luscious pumpkin bread dessert by using a slice topped with whipped cream and a drizzle of warmed caramel sauce.
