4. Apple Crumb Pie
Change up your regular flaky pie crust with this apple crumb pie for your next autumn dinner party. The base crust of your pie can stay the same, but instead of the traditional pastry lattice that tops it, try making a crumb topping to complete your apple pie. A crumb topping is so easy to make; all you need is flour, sugar, butter and cinnamon, combined and sprinkled over the top of your apple filling. Follow this simple and effortless recipe for a delicious variation on your classic apple pie.
5. Upside Down Apple Pie
Turn your traditional apple pie recipe on its head (literally) with an upside down apple pie. This recipe combines an apple pie with another fall favourite: a pecan pie. The sticky, sweet pecan filling goes into the pie dish first, followed by a pie crust and your apple filling, sandwiched together with another pie crust. Once baked, you’ll need to flip the pie over to get that crispy and sweet pecan top to your apple pie. This is a delicious apple and pecan pie hybrid that your dinner party guests will love!
6. Cinnamon Roll Apple Pie
Combine your favourite breakfast food with this classic autumnal dessert with a cinnamon roll apple pie – yes it is just as amazing as it sounds. This will take a little more time than your regular apple pie but it is worth every second to get this delicious cinnamon apple goodness. You will need to roll out your regular pie crust and spread it over with a cinnamon sugar mixture before rolling it up and slicing it to get your cinnamon rolls – this will form the crust of your pie. Follow this recipe for an incredible cinnamon roll apple pie which will definitely become a firm favourite.
7. Apple and Blackberry Pie
Add some berry goodness to your fall dessert with an apple and blackberry pie. Especially in the fall when you can pick your own blackberries, they are the perfect addition to your pie recipe. Stew your blackberries in with the apples to really let their tastes blend together with the cinnamon and sugar. Try this recipe, which also uses stem ginger to add an extra dimension to this classic taste.
8. Vegan Apple Pie
Most apple pie recipes use piles of melted butter, milk and egg washes, so if you’re eating a plant-based diet, an apple pie can seem a bit out of reach. However, a vegan apple pie is equally as easy to make, and just as tasty. Substitute in vegan butter and coconut oil to achieve the same crispy, flaky pie crust without the animal products and you’ll get a great result. Try this easy, vegan recipe to get a delicious plant based apple pie.
