Preserving Fresh Apples

Recently I wrote about all the things I was able to make and preserve using the apples my aunt shared with me from her very prolific backyard apple tree. 

I of course made and canned apple pie filling.  But I also made plenty of applesauce, both plain and cinnamon/vanilla flavored.

And of course RancherMan’s fave – dehydrated crispy cinnamon/sugar apple slices

But now it’s time to put some of that homemade apple pie filling to the test. Let’s see what kind of convenience food I’ve been able to provide for our supper table.

Simple Meal Deserves Dessert!

Picture this: I had just fed RancherMan a pretty simple meal of homemade chicken & dumplings.

It was delicious, the perfect comfort-food dish. But it was still a pretty basic 1-bowl meal.

Usually when I serve a such an easy meal I like to include a delicious homemade dessert to add a little POP! 

So I eyed a quart jar of those home-canned apples and decided I would make RancherMan a homemade apple pie.

Since the apples have already been processed into homemade apple pie filling, this is gonna be super EASY (and quick).

Homemade Apple Pie In A FLASH!

First I whipped up my standard recipe for a Double 9″ Flaky Pie Crust. I rolled out half and lined the bottom and sides of my grandmother’s vintage pie plate with the bottom crust.

Then I opened a quart of that home-canned apple pie filling and poured it in.

With the remaining dough I rolled out and quickly cut it into strips using a small pizza cutter. I’ll use these strips to make a lattice top for my pie.

Now while cutting the crust for the lattice top was quick, it still involved weaving dough strips to form the lattice. Although it did make for a pretty presentation, I’m not sure that the lattice top was worth the effort it took nor the difficulty it contributed to a nice neat cut of my baked pie. 

Next time I’ll probably just roll out two sheets, one for the bottom & sides of the pie and a top sheet to go over the filling. I’ll just cut a couple of slits to let the steam escape and I’ll be done.

But this time I used those strips of dough to weave a lattice design on top. I’ll admit, it did turn out pretty.

Now all that’s left is to  put my apple pie into my oven heated to 375 degrees F. I baked my pie for 35 minutes and it baked up perfectly.

Then I cut it into thick hearty slices and  topped them with a little dollop of whipped topping. (OK a smidge larger than a dollop for RancherMan’s serving!)

I felt like June Cleaver as I served this homemade apple pie hot from the oven.

Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 50 minutes
Servings: 8 servings
Course: Dessert
Cuisine: American
Calories: 320

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups home-canned apples
  • 0.75 cup sugar
  • 0.33 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 package refrigerated pie crusts

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius) to ensure the pie bakes evenly and thoroughly.
  2. Place one pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan, setting it into the dish carefully and ensuring it lays flat.
  3. In a large bowl, mix the canned apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and lemon juice until combined.
  4. Pour the apple mixture into the crust-lined pie pan, spreading it evenly without overfilling the edges.
  5. Dot the filling with small pieces of butter on top to add extra richness and flavor to the pie.
  6. Cover the pie with the second crust, sealing the edges together and cutting slits on top to allow steam to escape.
  7. Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  8. Remove the pie from the oven, cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before serving to set the filling.

  1. Oh please come and cook for my hubby Tammy, he’s lucky if he gets a meager meal 😉 Your apple pie sounds and looks delicious. Thank you so much for sharing the yumminess at Sweet Inspiration

  2. This looks great. I did up some canned apples last year hoping to make a pie with them, but sadly they lost their seal and had to be tossed. Perhaps I will give it a try again this year.

    1. Oh no, Sarah! That would make me cry! But, a popped seal happens from time to time I guess… Give it a go again, it’s wonderful to have home-canned apple pie ready & waiting in your pantry. I’ve impressed many a last-minute guest by whipping up a homemade apple pie in minutes! ~TxH~
