Treat your ingredients with care...
- Apples — Choose firm and tart varieties such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best flavor and texture.
- Pie crust — If desired, you can make your own pie crust from scratch using a simple recipe of flour, butter, and water.
- Lemon juice — The lemon juice adds a tangy flavor and prevents the apples from browning. If you don't have lemon juice, you can use apple cider vinegar as a substitute.
- Butter — Make sure the butter is cold and cut it into small pieces to distribute it evenly throughout the filling.
Tips & Tricks
- For a shortcut, you can use canned apple pie filling instead of making your own.
- Serve the apple pie warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
- If you prefer a sweeter filling, you can increase the amount of sugar or add a sprinkle of brown sugar on top of the pies before baking.
- To save time, you can prepare the apple filling in advance and refrigerate it until ready to use.
- If you don't have individual pie molds, you can use a muffin tin instead.
Serving advice
Serve the Quick and Easy Apple Pie Delight warm as a standalone dessert or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added richness.
Presentation advice
For an appealing presentation, dust the pies with powdered sugar just before serving. You can also garnish each pie with a small apple slice or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
