Description

This flat apple pie recipe is a quick and easy dessert. It’s perfect for weeknights and offers a comforting fall flavor.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (14.1 ounces) refrigerated pie crusts
  • 6 cups thinly sliced peeled apples
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1 tablespoon sugar for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Unroll one pie crust and place on a baking sheet.
  3. In a large bowl, combine apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Toss to coat.
  4. Spread apple mixture evenly over the crust on the baking sheet, leaving a 1-inch border.
  5. Dot the apple mixture with butter pieces.
  6. Unroll the second pie crust and gently place it over the apple mixture.
  7. Trim and crimp the edges to seal. Cut slits in the top crust to vent steam.
  8. Brush the top crust with milk and sprinkle with sugar.
  9. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly.
  10. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • For a crispier crust, use parchment paper on the baking sheet.
  • Adjust the amount of sugar based on the tartness of your apples.
  • Add a squeeze of lemon juice to the apple mixture to prevent browning.
