Apple Pie Recipe Made With Apple Pie Filling
Introduction
Who doesn't love a warm slice of apple pie? It's a classic dessert that never goes out of style. But sometimes making an apple pie from scratch can feel overwhelming. That's where apple pie filling comes in! With just a few ingredients, you can make a delicious apple pie that will impress your family and friends.
Ingredients
For the crust:
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup ice water
For the filling:
- 2 cans of apple pie filling
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp allspice
- 1/4 tsp ginger
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and sugar for the crust. Add the cold butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse sand.
3. Add the ice water, a little at a time, until the dough comes together in a ball. Divide the dough in half and wrap each half in plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
4. In another mixing bowl, combine the apple pie filling, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, ginger, and flour for the filling. Stir until everything is well combined.
5. Roll out one of the dough balls on a floured surface until it's about 1/8 inch thick. Transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie dish and trim the edges. Pour the apple pie filling into the crust and dot the top with small pieces of butter.
6. Roll out the other dough ball on a floured surface until it's about 1/8 inch thick. Cut the dough into strips and place them on top of the apple pie filling in a lattice pattern. Trim the edges and crimp the edges of the crust together.
7. Bake the apple pie for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Let the pie cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
Variations
If you want to get creative with your apple pie, here are a few variations to try:
- Add a crumb topping made of flour, sugar, and butter to the top of the apple pie before baking.
- Swap out the apple pie filling for another fruit filling, like cherry or blueberry.

- Use a store-bought pie crust to save time.
