    those look yummy

    I always sautée the apple slices sprinkled with some of the cinnamon/sugar mixture in my cast-iron fryer in a small amount of the butter to soften first. Also enhances the cinnamon/apple flavors.

  • Tracy

    These are wonderful!!!! My family says thank you!

  • Angela

    I made these tonight and they were delicious! I had one small problem, the pie crust stuck to the parchment paper after baking. Any suggestions to help avoid this? Thanks for sharing such a quick and tasty treat!

    • Budget Savvy Diva

      I would likely grease the parchment paper 🙂 Hope that helps

  • Charity

    Did you use both pie crusts in the box?

    Thank you!

    • Budget Savvy Diva

      Only one

      • Charity

        Awesome! Thank you! I am making these on Saturday 🙂

  • Jenna

    These sound great! Thanks for sharing! I’m going to celebrate Pi Day today with them!

  • Rachel

    Has anyone made these the night before they were served? I want to make them for my church sunday school class but need to make them beforehand. Just wondering how they hold up and taste reheated (in the oven) after being baked then refridgerated. Thanks for your help!

    • Tudgeman

      Did it work for you? I want to make them the night before as well but I don’t know if it will turn out.

      • Rachel

        I didn’t end up making them the night before. :/ I was scared to risk it but something happened when I made them the morning of, the dough didn’t puff at all. It looked like it was raw still. The cinnamon sugar mixture melted everywhere and burned. It was an epic fail for me but others have had great success so, I guess I should try it again. The only thing I can think of that went wrong was the pie crust had been prefrozen then thawed (properly) before I used it so, maybe that made the difference. Let me know if you try it the night before. I’m curious if it works. 🙂

    […] night's creation was inspired by a recipe that I found (via Pinterest) at Budget Savvy Diva. I modified the recipe slightly because I used my own dough recipe. You can buy pre-made dough […]

  • Sheila Loveless

    Can’t wait to try this..
    Buying ingredients tomorrow to have for desert..

  • Tessa Bacon

    Can you just use cresent rolls instead of the pie pastry?

    • Budget Savvy Diva

      Yes you can 🙂

  • Kathy

    Can these be made ahead of time? If so, do you have to refrigerate them and then reheat? I want to make them the night before. Would I store them in an airtight container? Thanks.

  • Amy

    I just made these using peaches that were almost too ripe to eat. They were wonderfull with vanilla ice cream! Very easy, minimal ingredients, Everyone loved them!

  • whitney

    Really good and simple I used reduced fat crescent rolls and tin foil just had to watch to make sure they didn’t burn. They would be good for breakfast too!

  • Amanda

    Wow. I will totally have to try these, they look so yummy! Thank you for posting!

    p.s. i love Penzey’s!

  • Angie

    I made these today for a reunion. They were so easy to make and took very little effort. I’m glad that I ate one before taking to the gathering, because they were all gone. Such a huge hit….thank you for posting.

  • Sarah Miller

    I made this tonight as a surprise dessert for my hubby and son and we all loved it! My husband said if he had this at a restaurant, it would be his new favorite place. :). I highly recommend this recipe, and thank you so much for sharing. Absolutely delicious!

  • SamAndRay

    Thank you! My fiance’ and I made these together!! :))) Mmmmm!

  • Karen

    I made these a few weeks ago with extra apples from an apple pie I was already making. I used cresent rolls instead of the pie dough. I didn’t have enough apples to fill every roll so I just put some butter, sugar, and cinnamon in & outside of the roll and they all turned out great. I was told that I need to make these more frequently. I plan to make them tonight for dessert. 🙂

  • Caroline

    I made these recently, and I thought they tasted even better the next day.

    • Caroline

      I didn’t refrigerate or reheat the leftovers. I had one left after 3 days, and it was still very good. I used lemon juice on the apple wedges and dunked them in the sugar mixture to coat.

How do you bake an apple pie so the bottom crust is not soggy? ›

Blind Bake the Crust

One of the fool-proof ways to ensure a crisp bottom pie crust is to do what is called blind baking. This simply means that you bake the crust—either fully if you are adding a custard or cream that won't be cooked, or partially if the whole pie needs to bake—before adding the filling.

How to get pie crust to brown on the bottom? ›

Getting a brown, flaky/crispy bottom crust on your pie is all about quick and effective heat transfer. That's why aluminum or aluminum/steel pans — rather than glass or stoneware — are your best choice for baking pie. Metal, especially aluminum, transfers heat quickly and efficiently from oven to pie crust.

Can you mix different apples for apple pie? ›

The key word is “mix.” Instead of selecting one variety of apple, it's best to opt for a few, which will give the filling a more balanced and nuanced flavor. You'll want some sweet and some tart, and most should be firm enough to hold their shape when baked. No one wants a mushy pie!

Should you Prebake the bottom crust of an apple pie? ›

You do not need to pre-bake a pie crust for an apple pie or any baked fruit pie really, but we do freeze the dough to help it stay put. Pre-baking the pie crust is only required when making a custard pie OR when making a fresh fruit pie. you should probably get: Pie weights are super helpful to have for pre-baking.

With docking, the holes allow steam to escape, so the crust should stay flat against the baking dish when it isn't held down by pie weights or a filling. Otherwise the crust can puff up, not only impacting appearance but also leaving you with less space for whatever filling you have planned.

Should I egg wash the bottom pie crust? ›

The protein from the egg white creates a seal between the crust and the filling and prevents the filling from making the crust too soggy. I've recently started doing this extra step and while it's not 100% necessary, it does add a little extra reassurance to keep your pie crust firmer.

How long do you bake a bottom pie crust? ›

Bake: Bake until the edges of the crust are starting to brown and appear set, about 15–16 minutes. Remove pie from the oven and carefully lift the parchment paper (with the weights) out of the pie. With a fork, prick holes all over the bottom crust.
