11. Cinnamon apple Bread
Cinnamon apple bread is a delicious and easy use of bisquick. Another good bread option is Banana bread. In both cases the breads can be customizable through the addition of chopped nuts, dried fruits, or the addition of preferred spices.

14. Strawberry Shortcake
Strawberry Shortcake is a classic summer dessert. Did you know you can use any berry? Or even any fruit? All it takes is shortcake, whip cream, and your desired fruit.
This dish is easy to customize as shortcake biscuits go good with any fruit. Try changing your fruits with the seasons. Strawberries in May or June, Blueberries in June or July, Raspberries, or black berries in August, and so on.
15. Berry Cobbler
Berry Cobbler is another summer favorite. Enjoy it fresh out of the oven or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whip cream on top.
Do not worry if you do not have the exact berries on hand. Just keep the numbers the same and it will taste great. For instance, if you do not have raspberries, strawberries, and blueberries try using just one type or mix any berries you do have.
16. Fresh Fruit Cobbler
Fresh fruit cobbler is usually thought of as a summer or fall dish, but it can be made year round. Check what is available at your local grocery store or farmers market.
