Every fall I go a little apple crazy, and this apple pie lasagna is one of the most fun desserts to bring to a potluck. Sweet cinnamon apples and a creamy cheesecake-style filling are layered with lasagna noodles and topped with a buttery oat crumble. It sounds unusual, but think of it like a giant apple crumble with a creamy middle!

Tips

• Homemade or canned apples: the recipe uses fresh apples, but two 21-ounce cans of apple pie filling work in a pinch.
• Let it rest 15 minutes before cutting so the layers hold.
• Serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
