The ultimate indulgence for me is a Apple Pie, I don’t know what it is, if it’s the buttery taste or the cinnamon, but all this combined in together with a crisp flavored crunchy crumble, is the best dessert ever made! So, i had to give it a go and make it with our baking mixes!

Now, purely because I haven’t and most likely won’t try any of the other mixes, the Original Bread Mix is the one to use!

It’s the perfect recipe to whip up for yourself or for when you have guests and you will look like a pro when serving it! Who could seriously resist a slice of warm Apple Pie with a crunchy topping?!

I have done this many times and many different ways, my two favorite ways, one being way shorter than the other!

I honestly don’t mind using tin apples! I know a lot of people swear by fresh apples, and don’t get me wrong you can’t beat a fresh apple on any given day, but for ease and super quick-ness, tinned apples have a really good spot in my pantry!

IF USING FRESH APPLES

Again - here is a preference - when using fresh apples, I tend to use two different sorts. Some are sweet, some are tangy and they all tend to add a flavour to the Apple Crumble.

Peel and thinly slice your apples. Add apples to a bowl and add ready made cinnamon sugar and 1tsp vanilla extract (optional) and toss to combine.

Bake at 200 C for about 30 minutes, continuing to toss in between so they don’t burn! They will start to go nice and soft and caramelize.

By doing this step, you reduce the time of the Apple Pie in the oven and can make 100% sure you get the nice soft apples in your pie, nothing worse than a crunchy apple!!

The Best Apple Pie Recipe

8 - 10 Fresh apples - peeled and sliced or 2x tinned apples

4 TBLS Soft Room Temp Butter

Ready made Cinnamon Sugar ( cinnamon and sugar mixed)

1 Pouch Original Bread Baking Mix

This is for a medium Apple Pie - 4 - 6 servings

Bake apples at 200° for 30 minutes, tossing inbetween ( detailed method above)- or if using tinned apples pour out tinned apples into a bowl and add your cinnamon sugar mixture. Add cinnamon sugar to your liking.

*If using fresh apples - Once baked, pour out into desired oven proof dish and sprinkle with some cinnamon sugar to your taste. I do tend to have a heavy hand here :)

Mix half pouch Original Bread Mix with the butter and 2 TBLS cinnamon sugar mixture until nice and crumbly, you will have to get into it with your finger tips.

Sprinkle this crumb mixture all over the apples, covering all the apples and place into the oven to bake and caramelize for another 30 minutes (if it does go too brown, cover with tinfoil until sugar has melted)

Take out and enjoy with some whipped cream and or ice cream! Remember it will be hot, so use your discretion on how hot you would like to eat it!
