Easy Apple Pie Recipe

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! Even 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 homemade apple pie filling (or store bought) OR 1 quart canned apples

To make apple pie with 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 in the oven 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.

FAQ About Using Apple Pie Filling

Do you have to cook apple pie filling?

No. Since apple pie filling is already cooked in the canning process, you don’t have to cook it again to be able to use it.

Can you eat apple pie filling straight from the can or jar?

If you really want to, sure!

Should pie filling be cold before baking?

Since you are going to be warming it up with baking (and since it’s already cooked), there’s no need to warm it up before baking.
