I love the Autumn Apple Cherry Crisp..if she does not like the Cherry..I have used Strawberry Pie filling and that is wonderful as well..
I would suggest that you do the crisp part before the guests get there..but I would do it at her house..because it makes it smell so good.
Either that..or a Chocolate Dump cake..I did that at a show and it was a huge hit.

You could do whatever dessert you want and then do a little something extra w/ the DCB. My director just sent out an e-mail about something a clustermate has been doing with GREAT success at her shows. When she isn't showcasing the DCB with the main recipe, she makes a little BBQ chicken for people to taste. Here's what my director wrote:She pours about 1/4 of a bottle of BBQ Sauce in the bottom of the Deep Covered Baker, puts in 1 or 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts pours another 1/4 bottle on top and uses the Silicone Basting Brush to coat the chicken and the bakerTwo average sized chicken breasts take about 5 minutes, depending on the microwave. The thicker they are and the more breasts you add, the longer it will take. I check after 5 minutes, then continue cooking at 1 to 2 minute intervals if it isn't finished after the first 5 minutes. Great way to show off the Digital Thermometer!Then just cut up the chicken, put toothpicks in each of the pieces, place them in a circle on a plate, pour some more barbecue sauce in the middle for dipping and pass it around for guests to sample. It always goes over really well.She sells 1-4 Bakers per show just showing off how well the meat cooks. Maybe that's why she has such a high show average!!!

Another super easy one ---
Put one can of apple pie filling in the bottom. Sprinkle one entire dry white cake mix over that. Pour a stick of melted butter evenly over the cake mix. Microwave for about 15 minutes with the lid on....
YUM.
You could use the caramel sprinkles on this too, but I've heard some say that makes it too sweet!!!
