I've been using this recipe for so long that I don't remember where it came from. I do remember that I'm asked to bake 3 pies every Thanksgiving. Two are for the dinner and the third one is for my sister's partner who demands a whole pie for himself.

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 13

PIE:
1 1/2 tsp lemon juice
4 c pared, cored and sliced apples (i use fuji apples due to family preference but use your own favorite)
1/2 c granulated sugar
1/4 c all-purpose flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp salt
1 9" unbaked pie shell
CRUMBLE TOPPING:
1 6 oz. package of butterscotch morsels
1/4 c butter
3/4 c all-purpose flour
1/8 tsp salt

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • 2. PIE: In a large bowl, combine lemon juice and apples; toss until well coated. Stir in sugar, flour, cinnamon, and 1/8 t. salt; mix well. Turn into a 9 inch unbaked pie shell. Cover edges of the pie shell with aluminum foil. Bake for 20 minutes.
  • 3. TOPPING: Melt morsels and butter over hot (not boiling)water or in microwave; stir until smooth. Remove from heat; stir in flour and remaining 1/8 t. salt. Blend until mixture forms large crumbs. Remove foil from pie. Crumble mixture over top of hot apples. Bake for another 25 minutes.
  • 4. I serve while still slightly warm with whipped cream or ala mode.

Tips:

  • For the Best Flavor: Use Granny Smith apples, as they hold their shape well and provide a tart flavor that balances the sweetness of the butterscotch filling.
  • Slice the Apples Thinly: This will allow them to cook evenly and soften without becoming mushy.
  • Don't Overcook the Apples: You want them to be tender but still retain a slight crunch.
  • Use High-Quality Butterscotch Chips: This will make all the difference in the flavor of the filling.
  • Don't Overfill the Pie Crust: Leave some room for the filling to bubble and expand as it bakes.
  • Bake the Pie Until the Crust Is Golden Brown and the Filling Is Bubbling: This will ensure that the pie is cooked through.

Conclusion:

This Apple Butterscotch Pie is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its sweet, gooey filling and flaky, buttery crust, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
