Here are two that may work for you. The cobbler can be baked ahead and warmed up or served at room temp.

Thank you very much. I can try cobbler. Dutch dessert look wonderful, but I bet canned applle filling contains corn syrup. Almost all pie fillings usually do.

I recently posted a T & T apple cake recipe on the thread below. It's fine to make a day ahead of time.

Here is a link that might be useful: Apple Cake

You can always use fresh apples & make your own filling. Just peel, core, slice, add sugar to taste, a bit of cinnamon/nutmeg & simmer until the apples are tender & the filling has thickened.

Tricia, thanks. That is what I do for my apple pie :).
I did Ruthanna's cake. It was easy and tastes great. I didn't do caramel icing, because it is already very sweet and tastes great. Will serve it as squares. Probably will do some whipped cream topping tomorrow to serve for those who think they need it. To me it is just great, as is. Thank you very much, Ruthanna.
