Apple Pie with Graham Cracker Crust

Carolyn
Sometimes I just want an apple pie with a graham cracker crust. It's quick, simple, and sweet with no tricky pie dough! No need to cut, roll, or crimp, just use your favorite store-bought graham cracker crust instead.

Equipment

  • Peeler
  • Chopping knife
  • Cutting board
  • Mixing bowls
  • Measuring cups & spoons

Ingredients
  

For the topping:

  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, cold
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour*
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • ¼ cup white sugar

For the filling:

  • 7 pink lady apples, peeled and sliced small to medium sized
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 ½ tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp white sugar

For the graham cracker crust:

  • 1 store-bought 10-inch graham cracker crust*

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Make the topping:

  • In a medium bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, and sugar. Stir then set aside.
  • Cut the cold butter into small pieces and add to the flour mixture. Use your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until crumbly and well combined.

Make the filling:

  • In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, lemon juice, sugar, and brown sugar. Stir together with a large spoon or spatula.
  • In a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the apple mixture to the pan and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • The liquid should mostly evaporate and the apples should soften.

Assemble:

  • Carefully scoop the cooked apples into the graham cracker crust and gently press into the pie crust.
  • Evenly sprinkle the topping all over the apples.
  • Bake the pie for 55-60 minutes, until the apples are soft and fork-tender. Carefully remove the apple pie from the oven and let cool a few minutes before serving.

Notes

* For a gluten-free apple pie, use gluten-free all-purpose flour and a gluten-free graham cracker crust.
