Blueberry Dessert

So this is what I've always called this dessert since I first tried it at a Young Women in Excellence meeting back when I was around 13, and I begged my mom to get the recipe from whomever made it. But it is just so dang good, it really should be renamed.... something with "awesome" in it (I'm thinking of Ivan the Terrible who wanted to be named "Ivan the Awesome"  in Night at the Museum 2 haha). Because it is AWESOME! I only make it about once a year, because I have a tendency to sneak half the pan when no one is looking or to eat it just as a meal. It's that good!


1 white cake mix
1 ¼ cup quick cooking oats
½ cup butter or margarine
½ cup chopped nuts (I always omit this because nuts don't belong in sweets haha ;)
1 egg
¼ cup firmly packed brown sugar
½ tsp cinnamon
21 oz can blueberry pie filling
Preheat oven to 350. Grease a 9x13 pan. In large bowl combine cake mix, 1 cup oats, and 6 tbsp margarine. Cut it in until crumbly. Reserve 1 cup crumbs for topping. To remaining crumbs blend in the egg. Press into prepared pan and bake for 12 minutes. Meanwhile, to reserved crumbs add remaining ¼ cup oats, 2 tbsp margarine, nuts and sugar and cinnamon. Beat til well mixed. Spread base with pie filling and sprinkle remaining crumb mixture. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool completely and then keep refrigerated.
