Delicious dessert to finish off a fall dinner. Easy to make using just 4 cooked lasagna noodles, ricotta cheese, and 1 can of apple pie filling. This recipe makes 6 servings and baked in a 9 inch x 7 inch baking pan. The noodles is layered with ricotta cheese filling and apple pie filling on the bottom and top. The top has a crumbled topping that bakes on top. Finish it off with a brown sugar sour cream when serving
I didn’t make the sour cream topping this time because I didn’t have the sour cream. The topping is really good. We like it straight out of the oven. It is a nice alternative to apple pie when you don’t have the gumption to make one.

The recipe was in a cooking magazine annual cook book that I found at a thrift store. It is really tasty and different. There are larger recipes on the internet that has more servings. This is a great alternative to baking a pie.

What a splendid idea! And it seems like there are always those stray left-over lasagne noodles in the cupboard! Company’s coming? No problem!

The stray lasagna noodles is what attracted me to this recipe originally. I gave it a try and everyone enjoyed it. You don’t just have to use apple pie filling. Cherry and blueberry is also really good.
Thanks for stopping in and making a comment.

I agreed with Dorothy above, what a great way to use leftover lasagna noodles! I always feel guilty throwing them out. I will try this recipe, I even have a can of pie filling waiting to be used!
