It's holiday time!

Thanksgiving week.

Food, Family. . .

and never quite enough time!

Here's a present for you!

The following are two

"tried, true and oh-so-tasty" recipes from

two of our great RVC cooks.

They are both easy and fairly quick

and would be a great addition to any

Thanksgiving meal.

"Johnny Appleseed Cake"

I wish I could claim this recipe was an original of mine but actually it was given to me by Ethel Sale.  NEVER was there an easier cake to make and the results are "out of this world".  I gave the recipe to my daughter and she has made it into a "show-off" dessert by topping it with a dollop of Cool Whip and a light sprinkling of cinnamon when she serves it.  No one would ever guess how EASY it is!!

Ingredients:
   Duncan Hines Spice Cake Mix
   1 can Apple Pie Filling.

1.  Combine the 2 ingredients
     (No water, No eggs, No oil)
2.  Mix well with a mixer - batter will be very thick.
3.  Pour into a greased/floured  9X13 pan
     and bake according to directions on the cake box.

No frosting is needed.

"Easy Italian Creme Cake"
This cake has been tasted and LOVED by our RVC Bunko Group!
The group thought this version was BETTER than the Italian Creme Cake we have purchased from high dollar bakeries.  We begged Dana Hicks for the recipe till she broke down and gave it to us. 
Thanks Dana!
