It’s the fall and one of the first things I think of is apples. Here is a great recipe – you will thank me for this. Seriously. It’s the easiest and best “pie” recipe I have yet to find. My mom found the recipe in a church cookbook. We all know, church cookbook recipe’s are FANTASTIC! It’s an alternative take to apple pie. Instead of a crust (who likes making pie crusts anyway) there’s a cake like batter on top that is just delicious. If you don’t believe me, just try it and let me know what you think!
Here we go:
Swedish Apple Pie
Cut up enough apples to fill your pie dish 3/4 full.
Mix together 1 Tbsp sugar and 1 tsp. Cinnamon and sprinkle over the top of the apples. On this one, I think I did 1 Tbsp. of each, whoops. Regardless, it is wonderful! The extra cinnamon was fantastic!
For the topping:
In a bowl mix: 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar, 1 stick of butter (melted) and 1 egg (1/2 c. walnuts, optional).
Pour and spread over the top of the apples. Try to cover as much as the apples as possible.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes or until the top is a little brown (or you can stick a toothpick in the batter and have it come out clean). I completely forgot to take a picture of the finished pie. It looked so good, I jumped a little ahead!
Personally, I like it best right out of the oven with some ice cream.
Alternative fruit (peaches) can probably be used as well. I hope you like this recipe as much as we do! Let me know what you think!
