Thumbing through some old cookbooks, I stumbled upon this recipe. The flavors of apple and warm spices in the pie filling make it perfect for fall. Just like apple pie, I love this served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.

Depending on the weather, serve this versatile dessert with a cold topping or hot drink. (Southern Bite)
