We love the twist on this Apple Pie Recipe, a thin crisp! Everyone loves a good apple pie. In fact, if we had a national dessert this would be the all American winner! This could be a lighter idea to the end of a Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. Consider serving with whipped cream or ice cream on top.

Ingredients:

Crust

  • 2 Cups flour
  • 1½ Tbsp sugar
  • ½ Cup cold butter
  • 1 Tsp salt
  • 3 Tbsps ice cold water

Filling

  • 6 Apples, sliced
  • ½ Cup brown sugar
  • ¼ Cup butter, melted
  • 1 Tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 Tsp allspice
  • 1 Tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 Tsp vanilla extract

Topping

  • 1 Egg, beaten
  • 2 Tbsps sugar


Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare (grease and flour) a pie dish and set aside.
  2. In a food processor combine all the crust ingredients (2 cups flour, 1½ tbsp sugar, ½ cup cold butter, 1 tsp salt, 3 tbsps ice cold water) and pulse until it gets thick.
  3. Set aside ¼ of the dough and press the remaining dough into the prepared pie dish.
  4. Knead the ¼ of the dough and give it a rectangular form with a rolling pin. Cut it into 7 slices.
  5. For the filling, coat the apples with the brown sugar, cinnamon, butter, allspice, nutmeg, and vanilla.
  6. Fill the dough in the pie dish with the filling.
  7. Place the slices of dough on top of the pie dish on a perpendicular pattern. Mix the the one beaten egg and 2 table spoons sugar, and use a brush to spread it on top of the pie.
  8. Bake for 30 minutes or until done and remove from the heat. Let it cool down.
  9. Serve and enjoy.

Tips: Use a gluten free mix to make it gluten free.
