Apple pie is my favorite kind of pie. And this recipe makes it so easy to have any time we want. It doesn’t take much and it’s delicious!
Jump to RecipeThis is the recipe that my family has been using for apple pie for as long as I can remember. Or as my husband calls it “Easy as Pie Apple Pie”! We have it with Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner, and sometimes just because.
Easy apple pie is not a traditional pie. You don’t have a crust, but you pour the crust on the top and it bakes into the apples. I’ve been told this is almost more of a cobbler or streusel, but I’ve only ever known it as pie.
The recipe is simple to remember, too, since its one of almost everything. One cup of flour, one cup of sugar, one stick of butter, one egg… It was a long time before I ever wrote the recipe down because I just knew it.
Most people save apple recipes for the fall, but I enjoy them year-round. I like to make apple crisp and sauteed apples in the summer since both can be topped with ice cream. Spiked apple cider is a great winter drink. And, of course, apple pie is great for the fall.

Place the apples in a pie pan and sprinkle with cinnamon.
In a large mixing bowl, combine all of the other ingredients.
It will form the consistency of a cake batter.
Pour the batter over the apples, trying to even it out as much as possible. The batter doesn’t have to cover everything, though.
Bake the pie for about 45-60 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.

I love apple pie! And I love any recipe that’s easy. This is perfect timing for this week’s feast.
I agree, the easier the better, especially when you have a lot to cook.
This totally reminds me a streusel but I can see pie. Also are you cutting/peeling by hand, if so amazing! I have a little apple peeler machine and it is the only reason I make apple anything.
I’ve done both before! I have cut by hand but I’ve also borrowed the apple machine from my in-laws if I know ahead of time I am going to make this.
Yep, really easily and quickly done. We make this version in my home too, especially my sister in law alway start making it at the end of summer because apples can be found everywhere in my place.
That’s awesome! I would love to be able to pick our own apples for this.
I admit that I have always been nervous about making pies. But I think this would be fairly simple. And my daughter love’s apple pies. I will have to try it out.
