Cold Pie

Cold Pie

Use leftover cold biscuits. Slice a layer of biscuits. Cover with applesauce, sprinkle with sugar. Repeat until you get as much as you want fixed. Cinnamon or nutmeg can be sprinkled on applesauce, if desired.

Never had this. Seems very simple to make and worth giving a try. It is the pure basics, that's for sure.

That's interesting. We used to use cold biscuits for strawberry shortcake. It was good but you did miss the extra sweet and finer texture from the cake! This recipe might come out something like biscuits and apple butter?

Yes, maybe a little like the scones and jam in the UK? The recipe for those is heavier, and the tradition is that clotted ceam they use ( you don't want to know, that stuff would stop your heart after 3 bites it's so bad for you but you'd die happy ) but kind of the same.

I JUST made biscuits last night, to have with soup for dinner- always do that when the weather is this ridiculously cold- maybe will get out the applesauce today, thanks for this Donna!
