Did you can up some Apple Pie Filling this year or do you plan to? You are definitely going to want some canned apple pie filling desserts recipes to go with all that goodness! I’ve got a couple great recipes to share with you today.
Canned Apple Pie Filling Desserts
Canned Apple Pie Filling is so handy to have in your pantry. If you canned peach pie filling, pear pie filling, or anything else similar, these recipes will also work for you.
Easy Apple Pie
It’s always nice to be able to throw together an amazing dessert in no time but make it look like it took you all afternoon! If you can apple pie filling this recipe is a snap, and if you just can plain apples this recipe is still quite easy.
Pie Crust
What You Need:
- 2 c. all-purpose flour (could use white wheat or half wheat instead)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2/3 c. plus 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 to 6 tablespoons cold water
In a bowl, mix together the flour and salt. Cut in the cold butter with a fork until semi-blended. Add in the cold water until the mixture forms a dough. Cut the dough into 2 balls and grease the bottom a pie plate. Press one of the dough balls into the bottom of the pie plate and up the sides to form part of the crust. Roll out the other half and save to place on top of the pie after you make your filling.
Filling
- 1 quart apple pie filling OR 1 quart canned apples
If you use plain canned apples you will need:
- 1/2 cup sugar (unless you have some added to your canned apples)
- ¼ c. all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 2 Tablespoons butter
Mix the filling ingredients together and pour on top of the bottom pie crust. Top with the second crust dough. Cut slits in the top crust so the steam can escape. Bake at 425 degrees for 45 – 50 minutes or until bubbly and brown. You may want to place tin foil over the edges of the pie crust for the first 30 minutes of baking so it doesn’t get overdone.

Apple Crisp in a Jar
What You Need:
- ¼ cup sugar
- ¼ cup flour (can be gluten free all purpose flour)
- 4 Tablespoons old fashioned oats
- 3 Tablespoons butter
- Cooked or canned apples or canned apple pie filling
In a small bowl, mix together the sugar, flour, oats, and butter. (Easiest to mix with a fork.)
In the clean jars, add the cooked apples to make them fill up about halfway.
Divide the oat/flour mixture among the tops of the jars to make them about ¾ of the way full between the 2 mixtures.
Fill a large sided baking dish up about halfway with warm water. Place the jars into this dish before baking. Bake at 375 degrees for about 15 minutes or until the apples are bubbly.

Apple Oatmeal
What You Need:
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup canned apple pie filling
Cook all ingredients together on the stove top until the oats are cooked to your liking. For a dessert, serve with a bit of whipped cream.

What canned apple pie filling desserts do you like to make for your family? Which of these will you try first?
Wish this was up a week ago,lol. My sister just canned a ton of apples we picked from a friend’s house. She loves apple pie! I will be sure to share this recipe with her:)
The apple crisps in a jar look delicious! I have been trying to eat more oatmeal, and that recipe looks to be a good motivator 🙂
Just saw your winter picture brr! I moan and moan about our weather here but although dull and rainy yesterday the temperature was 21 degrees Celsius beautiful picture though thanks for sharing!
We have been picking apples from the trees in our yard and also received some from our CSA. So far, I have been making apple sauce, but I think I need to make some of this too! Those desserts look delicious!
Apple crisp is one of our favorites. I love the jar idea!
Hi Merissa! I’d really like to make your canned apple pie filling in order to use with your apple pie recipe, but I’m kind of confused about the directions. Are the spices and flour in the pie recipe needing to be added to the already created pie filling, even though it already has spices and cornstarch? I saw that you specified the sugar is only if your filling has none, but I’m not clear on the rest of it. I thought this filling was just something you could dump in an bake after making the crust? And if not, what is the reasoning behind that? Does it need an extra does of starch after cooking once? Thanks!
You shouldn’t need to add the extra spices if you canned mix has them, that would be if you are only using canned apples instead of canned apple pie filling. You won’t need any extra starch for this recipe.
Thanks for the quick reply, I am going to work on this recipe today!
Sorry, one more question! If you leave the thickener out ouf the apple pie filling, when you go to bake your pie with it, do you recommend using cornstarch or flour? And how much for one pie?
Either will work fine and I wouldn’t add more than a tablespoon or two.
Love this site! I found the apple pie filling recipe to late but I making your apple pie today. I used a different but close apple pie filling recipe that bubbled over while processing. Two jars didn’t seal. I’m hoping the other ones did. The buttons are down so they should be ok. But the two in my fridge are going to be pies. Can’t wait! Thanks for posting it!
Can you use a sugar such as Stevia in the apple pie filling when you can it?
Yes. Stevia is heat stable and can be canned. Your local extension office should be able to give you more details and specifics if you need them 🙂
