The post Store-Bought Apple Pie Can Be Transformed Into an Amazing New Dessert in Just a Few Steps appeared first on thedancingcucumber.com.
]]>Content creator Maggie Perkins recently posted a video on Instagram in which she shared the secret behind an apple pie bake dessert that her family and friends enjoy. As it turns out, Perkins simply buys an apple pie from Costco, mashes it up, and then bakes it again with crumble streusel topping.
“Secrets out. If you’ve ever enjoyed my Twice Baked Apple pie, it’s a scam,” Perkins shares in the caption of the video. “My signature dish is actually just a Costco apple pie, smashed up and baked again with a crumble streusel topping.”
While transforming a perfectly acceptable dessert into another one might seem like a waste of time, we definitely believe Perkins is onto something. Being able to enjoy something you like in a different way is always a good thing and crumble streusel topping sounds like a great addition to apple pie.
On top of that, this sounds like a great way to repurpose a leftover apple pie and make it taste fresh.

]]>How to Make Banoffee Pie
There are plenty of banoffee pie recipes out there, each offering a different way to achieve the same result. However, the one we liked the most came from a professional chef and popular TikTok food creator Andy Hearnden.
Hearnden starts by boiling two tins of condensed milk for three hours and then leaving them to cool off in order to create caramel. Alternatively, you can combine condensed milk with butter and brown sugar in a saucepan and stir on low heat until the ingredients combine.
Next, you need to make a crust for your banoffee pie. Place 1 pound of digestive cookies (or Graham crackers) in a food processor and blend until you achieve “sand consistency.” Combine with 7 ounces of melted butter and place in a tart pan while pressing at the bottom and against the edges until you get a flat surface. Chill for one to two hours.
After your base is chilled, pour in the caramel on it and spread evenly. Slice four bananas and layer them on the caramel. Top with whipped cream and sprinkle with grated chocolate.
You can leave the banoffee pie for a few hours in the fridge to completely set or dig in immediately. It is up to you.

- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 2/3 cup sour cream
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 dark chocolate cake mix
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 3 whole eggs and 1 egg white
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour for high altitude
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet mini chocolate chips
For the cherry filling:
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 1/2 cup fresh cherries, chopped
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
For the whipped cream frosting:

- 1 tablespoon gelatine
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 3 oz cream cheese, room temperature
- 1/2 cup water
- 3 cups heavy whipping cream
For the chocolate ganache drip:
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup dark chocolate candy melts
Instructions
Set the oven to 325 F degrees and prepare 3 6” cake rounds.
Mix the buttermilk, vanilla, sour cream, eggs, and oil together. Add the cake mix, chocolate chips, cocoa, and flour. Mix again very well.
Divide it into six, and add the batter to the cake rounds. Bake them for 25 to 30 minutes, then let them cool down for 2 minutes.
Next, wrap the cake rounds with plastic wrap and leave them in the freezer for at least 3 hours.
While you’re waiting you can prepare the cherry filling. Add the ingredients in a pan, without the vanilla. Wait for the mix to start boiling and let it simmer for 10 minutes. When it becomes thick you can add the vanilla. Place it in the fridge to cool down.
For the whipped cream, mix the gelatin with water in a bowl and leave them for 5 minutes. Next, place the bowl in the microwave for 10 seconds.
Leave the metal mixer and mixer bowl in the freezer until they are cold. Start whipping the whipped cream for 1 minute on low speed. Turn up the speed until you get stiff white peaks.
Include the gelatin, cream cheese, and vanilla, then whip again. Finally, pour in the powdered sugar and whip again.
For the chocolate drip, mix the heavy cream and chocolate in a bowl. Put the bowl in the microwave for 30 seconds.
To assemble the cake, first place one cake layer, and cover it with a layer of whipped cream frosting. Pipe one layer on the outside. Add 1/4 cup of the cherry filling next. Now repeat the whole procedure all over again.
Leave the black forest cake in the freezer for 20 minutes. Add the chocolate drip and freeze it for 2 more minutes. Top it off with fresh cherries.
