Lazy Man's Apple Crisp

You know I much prefer homemade to pre-packaged food, but in a time crunch (or during one of those middle-of-the-night cravings), this recipe works. It's also cost-effective and STOOPID simple.

1 large can apple pie filling (cherry, blueberry or any other flavor will work, too)
1 box Jiffy white cake mix
1 pkg instant oatmeal (or ½ c oats)
¼ c margarine or butter
Chopped walnuts (optional)

In an oven-safe dish, pour the pie filling. In a separate bowl, stir the cake mix, oats and butter until crumbly. Sprinkle over pie filling. Toss walnuts on top.

Bake at 350° for 15 minutes. Let cool 10 mins before serving.
