Mr.Savvy ate a TON of them ( 10 to be exact). He said they taste like Apple Pies from McDonald’s – all I know is that my husband loved them, they are easy to make, and it made my house smell cozy – talk about a winning recipe!

    those look yummy

    I always sautée the apple slices sprinkled with some of the cinnamon/sugar mixture in my cast-iron fryer in a small amount of the butter to soften first. Also enhances the cinnamon/apple flavors.

  • Tracy

    These are wonderful!!!! My family says thank you!

    • Budget Savvy Diva

      I would likely grease the parchment paper 🙂 Hope that helps

  • Charity

    Did you use both pie crusts in the box?

    Thank you!

    • Budget Savvy Diva

      Only one

      • Charity

        Awesome! Thank you! I am making these on Saturday 🙂

  • Jenna

    These sound great! Thanks for sharing! I’m going to celebrate Pi Day today with them!

  • Rachel

    Has anyone made these the night before they were served? I want to make them for my church sunday school class but need to make them beforehand. Just wondering how they hold up and taste reheated (in the oven) after being baked then refridgerated. Thanks for your help!

    • Tudgeman

      Did it work for you? I want to make them the night before as well but I don’t know if it will turn out.

      • Rachel

        I didn’t end up making them the night before. :/ I was scared to risk it but something happened when I made them the morning of, the dough didn’t puff at all. It looked like it was raw still. The cinnamon sugar mixture melted everywhere and burned. It was an epic fail for me but others have had great success so, I guess I should try it again. The only thing I can think of that went wrong was the pie crust had been prefrozen then thawed (properly) before I used it so, maybe that made the difference. Let me know if you try it the night before. I’m curious if it works. 🙂

    […] night's creation was inspired by a recipe that I found (via Pinterest) at Budget Savvy Diva. I modified the recipe slightly because I used my own dough recipe. You can buy pre-made dough […]

  • Sheila Loveless

    Can’t wait to try this..
    Buying ingredients tomorrow to have for desert..

  • Tessa Bacon

    Can you just use cresent rolls instead of the pie pastry?

    • Budget Savvy Diva

      Yes you can 🙂

  • Kathy

    Can these be made ahead of time? If so, do you have to refrigerate them and then reheat? I want to make them the night before. Would I store them in an airtight container? Thanks.

  • Amy

    I just made these using peaches that were almost too ripe to eat. They were wonderfull with vanilla ice cream! Very easy, minimal ingredients, Everyone loved them!

  • whitney

    Really good and simple I used reduced fat crescent rolls and tin foil just had to watch to make sure they didn’t burn. They would be good for breakfast too!

  • Amanda

    Wow. I will totally have to try these, they look so yummy! Thank you for posting!

    p.s. i love Penzey’s!

  • Angie

    I made these today for a reunion. They were so easy to make and took very little effort. I’m glad that I ate one before taking to the gathering, because they were all gone. Such a huge hit….thank you for posting.

  • Sarah Miller

    I made this tonight as a surprise dessert for my hubby and son and we all loved it! My husband said if he had this at a restaurant, it would be his new favorite place. :). I highly recommend this recipe, and thank you so much for sharing. Absolutely delicious!

  • SamAndRay

    Thank you! My fiance’ and I made these together!! :))) Mmmmm!

  • Karen

    I made these a few weeks ago with extra apples from an apple pie I was already making. I used cresent rolls instead of the pie dough. I didn’t have enough apples to fill every roll so I just put some butter, sugar, and cinnamon in & outside of the roll and they all turned out great. I was told that I need to make these more frequently. I plan to make them tonight for dessert. 🙂

  • Caroline

    I made these recently, and I thought they tasted even better the next day.

    • Caroline

      I didn’t refrigerate or reheat the leftovers. I had one left after 3 days, and it was still very good. I used lemon juice on the apple wedges and dunked them in the sugar mixture to coat.

FAQs

What makes apple pie soupy? ›

One of the chief reasons bakers end up with apple soup under the crust is failure to bake their pie long enough. There's almost no such thing as over-baking an apple pie; I've baked apple pies for 2 hours and longer, and they turn out just fine.

How do you keep apple pie from getting soggy? ›

To bring out the best apple flavor and texture, pre-cook the filling for only about 5 minutes on the stove. Bake and cool the pie, and then top with vanilla ice cream for the ultimate homestyle dessert.

What happens if you don't put lemon juice in apple pie? ›

There is no need to add lemon juice to prevent discoloration when baking with apples. It won't hurt the filling to have the lemon juice in there, but tossing the apples in juice isn't necessarily benefiting the dessert, either.

What is the best thickener for apple pie? ›

All-purpose flour is an easy solution, as you're sure to have it in your pantry. Since it's lower in starch, you'll use more of it than you would higher-starch thickeners. Quick-cooking tapioca makes filling bright and clear, but also gives it a stippled and somewhat sticky texture.

Why did my apples turn to applesauce in my pie? ›

For example, sweeter apples tend to break down easier than their acidic partners. This means that apples like Red Delicious break down quickly, turning your pie into more of an applesauce than a delectable dessert.

Flour as Pie Filling Thickener

Teaspoon for teaspoon, you will need to use about twice as much flour as you would cornstarch or tapioca to achieve the same thickening effects. Adding too much flour to your pie filling will turn it cloudy and pasty, with a distinctly floury taste.

How do you get a crispy crust on the bottom of a pie? ›

Getting a brown, flaky/crispy bottom crust on your pie is all about quick and effective heat transfer. That's why aluminum or aluminum/steel pans — rather than glass or stoneware — are your best choice for baking pie. Metal, especially aluminum, transfers heat quickly and efficiently from oven to pie crust.

Pre-baking the pie crust is only required when making a custard pie OR when making a fresh fruit pie. you should probably get: Pie weights are super helpful to have for pre-baking.

How do I keep the bottom crust of a pie from being soggy? ›

Crust dust is a 1:1 mixture of flour and granulated sugar. When baking a pie, especially a fruit pie, a couple of teaspoons of crust dust sprinkled into the bottom of the crust will help prevent the crust from becoming saturated with juicy filling as it bakes.

What is one thing you should not do when making pie crust? ›

Mistake to Avoid No.

Adding more flour is always an option, but add too much flour and your dough will end up like a cracker—not a pie crust. Remember: The more you mix your pie dough, the tougher it becomes. To keep the mixing to a minimum, try rolling out your dough between two pieces of parchment paper.

What makes apples mushy in an apple pie? ›

Perfect Pie Tip #6: Choose Tart Apples

Pectin is the biological glue that holds together plant cells, giving fruits and vegetables their shape and structure. When apples are cooked, this pectin breaks down, and the apples turn mushy.

Why does apple pie crust collapse? ›

Any number of things can contribute to a slumping crust. Maybe your recipe uses an extra-high amount of shortening or butter, or you rolled the crust too vigorously, or you didn't let it rest and chill before baking. Perhaps you used the wrong size pan, or not enough filling.

What happens if you put too much water in pie crust? ›

Richard's solution: The trouble with pastry is that you need to be accurate; too much water and you're left with shrunken, tough pastry, too little and it stays dry and crumbly. When adding the water to the butter and flour, use very cold water and add it a tablespoonful at a time.
