Quick Apple Crisp
5 Granny Smith apples
1 pkg. (9 oz.) yellow cake mix
2 tbsp. sugar

Using the A/P/C/S do the apples and then quarter them and layer in the bottom. Chop pecans using Food Chopper. Melt butter in the small micro cooker. Combine cake mix, sugar, cinnamon plus, butter and pecans in Classic Batter Bowl and combine until crumbly. Pour over top of cake mix and microwave for 20-25 minutes or until bubbly.
