Preheat oven to 375 degrees. For the filling, slice apples into thin rings, then cut rings into quarters. Combine pineapple preserves and flour in mixing bowl. Add apples, tossing to coat evenly. Pour into bottom of a 9-inch pie plate or similar shallow baking dish. For crumb topping, combine coconut, oats, brown sugar and flour in a mixing bowl. Microwave butter on high for 1 minute and add to chopped almonds. Add butter and almonds to topping ingredients; mix well. Sprinkle topping evenly over apple mixture. Bake 30-35 minutes or until apples are tender and topping is golden brown. Cool slightly. Serve warm with ice cream, if desired.
Heat oven to 375° F. Lightly butter a 2-quart casserole or baking dish. Stir together bread crumbs and butter; set aside.
Combine apples, brown sugar, lemon juice, ginger, and cinnamon, mixing until well blended. To assemble brown betty, spread 1 cup of buttered bread crumbs in bottom of casserole; top with one third of apple mixture. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon sherry over apple layer, if desired. Spread another cup bread crumbs and top with half of remaining apples and another tablespoon sherry. Make third layer of one cup of bread crumbs and top with remaining apples and sherry. Spread remaining bread crumbs on top of apples.
Cover with foil and bake 30 minutes; uncover and bake 30 minutes longer. Cool until warm and serve with whipped cream, if desired.
Mix all ingredients until well combined. Bake in greased 9x13 cake pan for 30 min at
350F degrees or until done. Top with favorite frosting if desired.
I find that if I add 3/4 teaspoon to the cake mix, 1/2 a box of instant vanilla pudding (because I live in a higher altitude area), and 1/4 cup oil mixing everything except the pie filling. Pout 1/3 of the batter into a well greased tube pan. Now add the apple pie filling and a 1/4 cup chopped pecans. Now pour the remaining batter into the pan. Cook at 350 degrees for 35-45 minutes. Insert a toothpick in center and if it comes away clean, then it is ready to remove from the oven. Let cool for 15 minutes or so. Place on a cake platter/plate until completely cool. Take 1 can of vanilla frosting and pull out 1/4-1/2 cup in a microwave safe measuring cup. Add a dash of apple pie spice to the frosting. Microwave on high for 10 seconds. Stir until smooth and runny. If still thick, put back into the microwave for an additional 5 seconds. Slowly drizzle the "Icing" over the cake. Making it as thin or thick to your liking. Serve warm with ice cream... Yum!
