Ingredients:
- 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded

- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1 tsp almond extract
- 2 cans apple pie filling
- 8 lasagna noodles, cooked and drained
- 6 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup quick-cooking oats
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/3 cup brown sugar, for garnish
Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready when your Apple Lasagna is prepared for baking.
-
-
Mix together in a medium bowl the cheddar cheese, ricotta cheese, egg, white sugar, and almond extract until well blended, forming a creamy and delightful mixture.
-
Prepare your 9×13-inch pan by greasing it lightly, then spread one can of apple pie filling evenly over the bottom of the pan.
-
Layer half of the cooked lasagna noodles over the pie filling, then evenly spread the cheese mixture over the noodles.
-
Repeat the layering process by adding the remaining noodles and the second can of pie filling on top of the cheese mixture, ensuring each layer is evenly distributed for maximum flavor.
-
Create a crumbly topping by combining flour, 6 tablespoons of brown sugar, oats, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a small bowl. Cut in the butter until the mixture becomes crumbly, being careful not to overwork it.
-
Sprinkle the crumbly topping evenly over the top of the lasagna, adding a delightful crunch to every bite.
-
Bake your Apple Lasagna in the preheated oven for approximately 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly, filling your kitchen with the tantalizing aroma of baked apples and cinnamon.
-
Cool the lasagna for about 15 minutes before serving, allowing it to set and the flavors to meld together beautifully.
-
While the lasagna is cooling, prepare the garnish by blending the sour cream and 1/3 cup of brown sugar in a small bowl until smooth, creating a creamy and sweet topping to complement the rich flavors of the dessert.
-
Cover the sour cream garnish and refrigerate until ready to serve, allowing the flavors to meld together and the consistency to thicken slightly.
-
Serve your warm and inviting Apple Lasagna with a dollop of the prepared sour cream garnish on top, adding a delightful finishing touch to this indulgent dessert that will leave your guests raving for more.
