This apple pie recipe with canned filling cuts out the time-consuming baking steps standing between you and a sweet, crunchy pie that carries spicy aromas throughout the house. Nobody will ever know the difference either. This apple pie might use pie filling from a can but it tastes as good as any apple pie made from scratch<\/a>.<\/p>\n The finished product is similar to a Dutch apple pie<\/a>. There\u2019s no pie crust, just a crumbly topping. You can customize it, of course, but the main appeal of this recipe is that all the ingredients are ready to go.<\/p>\n Preheat the oven to 400\u00b0F. In a large bowl, combine the apple pie filling, lemon juice and ground cinnamon. Spoon the mixture into the baked pastry shell.<\/p>\n In a small bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and brown sugar. Cut in the cold butter until the texture is crumbly. Stir in the chopped nuts, oats and shredded coconut. Sprinkle over the pie filling.<\/p>\n Bake at 400\u00b0 for 12 to 15 minutes or until the topping is golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.<\/p>\n Editor\u2019s Tip:<\/i> If the edges of the pie crust are overbrowning, cover them loosely with foil to protect them from additional heat.<\/p>\n Allow the apple pie to cool and store it at room temperature for a day or two or in the refrigerator for longer (up to four days). Cover it with foil to stop it from drying out.<\/p>\n Wrap your cooled apple pie in foil or plastic wrap and freeze it for up to four months. Reheat it directly in the oven so that the crust doesn\u2019t have time to turn soggy.<\/p>\n The crunchy topping on this apple pie goes beautifully with a smothering of velvety custard, heavy cream or whipped cream. It\u2019s hard to beat ice cream if you’re looking for that delicate contrast of hot and cold.<\/p>\n Choosing canned apple pie usually takes care of any issues with consistency. But if it\u2019s still too watery for your liking, you can cook down your apple filling to evaporate some liquid, stir in some cornstarch and water or thicken it with a homemade apple butter<\/a>.<\/p>\n Whereas the pie crust of an apple pie is usually flaky and light, pastry crust should be solid but crumbly. If you\u2019re making your own, use cold butter or lard to get the right consistency.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Pie recipes using canned apple pie filling are rare, but my two boys, Ben and Andy, made this scrumptious apple pie with a sweet, crunchy topping.
