IMPOSSIBLY EASY FRENCH APPLE PIE



Impossibly Easy French Apple Pie image

I think this is like a cross between a cobbler and a cake, rather than like a pie. I baked mine in a small glass baking dish instead of a pie plate, since it is a lot easier for me to cut squares than pie wedges! (Also I have a cover for my square dish.) For the baking mix, I used half Reduced Fat Bisquick and half Hodgson Mills Whole Wheat Buttermilk baking mix. I also used a bit less sugar in the pie part of the recipe since I thought the streusel topping and apples gave it plenty of sweetness. From Bisquick.

Tips:

  • Use Granny Smith Apples: The tartness of Granny Smith apples helps to balance the sweetness of the filling. Feel free to use a mix of other varieties, like Braeburn or Honeycrisp, for a more complex flavor.
  • Slice Apples Thinly: Thinly sliced apples will cook more evenly and create a more tender filling.
  • Don't Overfill the Pie Crust: Leave about 1 inch of space around the edges of the pie crust to prevent the filling from bubbling over during baking.
  • Brush the Pie Crust with Egg Wash: This will help to create a golden brown crust.
  • Bake the Pie at a High Temperature Initially: This will help to create a crispy crust. Reduce the temperature after 15 minutes to prevent the crust from burning.
  • Let the Pie Cool Completely: This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to develop.

Conclusion:

This impossibly easy French apple pie is the perfect dessert for any occasion. Made with just a few simple ingredients, it's a delicious and classic pie that everyone will love. The flaky crust and tender filling are sure to be a hit with your friends and family. For a special touch, try serving it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
