My mother, Helen, has been making this dessert for years and it is "world famous"! It's such a hit with family and friends and couldn't be easier! This can also, of course, be made with your own homemade pie crust and fresh apples, as well. It's also wonderful with other fruit fillings such as peach, raisin, cherry, etc. I just happen to love the quick and easy method!
