Anyone ready for more pie?
Since we still have apples, even after making applesauce, we’ve been making apple desserts. We’ve had apple dumplings, apple crisp, and apple pie.
I posted my great-grandma’s cream pie recipe last week, so how about my mother’s apple pie recipe this week? Sounds like a plan to me.
Thanks to making pie crusts when I made the cream pie, I pulled a pie crust out of the freezer and started chopping apples. I love having pie crusts in the freezer. I think I’ve said that before.
Ingredients
- 1 unbaked pie shell or pastry for a double crust pie
- 6 cups diced apples
- Mix together:
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 T. flour
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- dash of nutmeg
- Place apples in a bowl and pour this mixture over them. Stir with a spoon until apples are nice and cinnamony-sugared. Pour into unbaked pie shell. Dot the apples with 2 T. butter. Cover with top crust or a crumb crust. Bake at 350 degrees for approx. 1 hour. I think this recipe is originally from a Betty Crocker cookbook.
- Eat and Enjoy!
- The crumb topping I like to use is simply:
- Crumb Topping
- 1/4 cup sugar or brown sugar
- 3/4 cup flour
- 1/3 cup butter
- Mix sugar and flour. Cut in butter until crumbly.
- Sometimes I use white sugar and sometimes I use brown sugar. It is yummy either way. Of course with sugar and butter it is hard to go wrong in the yummy department.
My daughter especially liked the apple pie, out of the apple desserts that we made. We still have apples and pie crust in the freezer, so…..
Have you been using apples this fall?

I haven’t use a single apple this fall to make anything. Bad cook. I’ve been doing projects instead I guess. Some days I wish there were 2 or 3 of me.

I know what you mean! I can have a loooong list of things I want to accomplish in one day and I always look at it and think, “Not gonna happen!” Oh well, if we could do it all, we’d forget even more to give God the credit. At least I would!

I made apple butter in the oven and canned it. (My sis-in-law who makes hers in a kettle over an open fire, claims that process tastes best.) I think the spices added to the oven apple butter beats the bland taste of any store-bought apple butter, in my opinion!
deborah says
I have a recipe from my Grandma for applebutter that I have done before and canned. You cook it in the crockpot! It was super easy. And yes, much better than boughten!

Too bad you can’t reach through computer screens! 🙂

Yum!!! This looks delish! And I love that it’s got a crumble on top instead of another pie crust. (I think you said last week you typically do that.) I love crumble!
Have a great weekend!

I love crumb topping too!
Mrs. K says
Yumm-o…I’ll be over in a little bit, I’ll bring the vanilla bean ice cream! :o) Question on your pie crusts in the freezer, do you keep it as a ball or roll it out before freezing?

Bring on the vanilla bean ice cream! Problem is the pie is gone…but I could get another one made before you’d get here! 😉
I roll out my crust and freeze it in my pie plate. One of my friends has rolled them out flat before and put them in a ziploc bag to freeze them.

And now I’m hungry for apple pie. There are apples in the freezer all ready to jump into a pie crust but I can’t find any crusts in there. Guess that means someone should put pie crust making on her to-do list. I love the crumb topping, too. Thanks for introducing me to the recipe for it. Your pie looks beautiful.
deborah says
Come out! Come out! And we’ll make apple pie!
Becky King says
Hoping we can come in the near future. We will see.
Michele says
Yumm! I love the fall!
deborah says
Me too! I just spent some time today snapping a few fall foliage photos.
Lindsay says
I made this a few days ago and the family loved it! My husband loves the crumble (so do I!) I am trying the apple/peach crisp recipe today ~ I love the fall ~ it means baking and family to me!
deborah says
I’m glad you liked it! The apple pie always makes me think of my mother.
Fall makes me feel like baking too. I think it must partly be because it is cozy to have the oven on. Plus, using apples and pumpkin in recipes.
