Crunch Top Apple Pie Recipe

I have always loved making Apple Pie for the holidays. It is one of those things that I bring to Thanksgiving and Christmas every year, along with a few other items. When I had the Paula Deen Thanksgiving ideas, I fell in love with the Crunch Top Easy Apple Pie. I have been making it every year ever since. Now-a-days with the internet, you can find Paula Deen’s apple pie recipe on the Food Network.

How Long Does Apple Crunch Pie Last

When you store apple pie properly, it can last up to 4 days. However, this pie never lasts that long in our house. Usually, this pie is gone the same day I make it.

Does this pie with Homemade Apple Pie Filling need to be refrigerated?

When you are making this apple crunch pie, you want to store it properly. Most apple crunch pie can be left on the counter or in the refrigerator. While food lasts longer in the refrigerator, it also keeps the apple pie cold and some people prefer not to eat cold apple pie.

Is It Easy to Make Apple Filling

This apple pie filling could not be easier to make. I have seen some that have a lot of steps. This recipe uses apple sauce and the liquid part of the pie filling which takes the hassle out of the cooking process. With this apple filling, you just add the filling ingredients into the pie and bake.

Ingredients in Apple Pie with Apple Filling Recipe

• Ground cinnamon
• Salt
• Granny Smith apples or other cooking apples
• Natural unsweetened applesauce

How to Make Crunch Top Apple Pie

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

Start with a 9 inch pie shell.

Mix sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl.

Stir in apples, applesauce, and lemon juice.

Pour the apple filling into the pie shell.

Add in the cut up pieces of butter

Make a lattice or basket weave design over the top of the pie.

To make the topping, combine the flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt together.

Using a fork, cut in butter until mixture is crumbly.

Sprinkle it over the of crust. Try to spread it evenly across the top

I always put a cookie sheet or pizza pan under my pies. All too often they bubble over, because my kitchen is slanted, but it also makes it easier to put it in and take it out of the oven.

Bake for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 350 degrees.  Bake for about 45 minutes. The pie is a beautiful golden brown when done.
