Description
This shortcut apple pie recipe with puff pastry crust is easy to make and super delicious!
Ingredients
- Canned Apple Pie Filling: two 21 oz cans
- Ground Cinnamon: 1 teaspoon
- Ground Nutmeg: 1 teaspoon
- Frozen Puff Pastry: 2 sheets, thawed (room temperature)
- Egg: 1
Instructions
- Prepare: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Mix the Pie Filling: To a large bowl, combine and mix the canned apple pie filling, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Prep the Pie Crust: Generously sprinkle flour over a flat surface and lay out one of the puff pastry sheets. Use a pizza roller to gently and slightly roll out the dough just enough to slightly hang over your 9-inch pie dish. Fold the puff pastry into four quarters and then transfer it to the pie dish.
- Assemble the Pie: Pour the pie filling into the pie and then follow Step 3 for the top pie crust. Once the top crust is on top of the pie, use scissors to cut off any excess overhang or tuck and roll the edges and then use a fork to press around the rim to seal the dough. Cut a few slits into the top of the pie and refrigerate for 10 minutes.
- Bake: Whisk the egg in a small bowl to make an egg wash and then lightly brush the top of the pie with it. Bake for 30-40 minutes uncovered on the middle rack until golden brown. Rest for 10 + minutes and serve with vanilla ice cream as desired.
Notes
Don't forget to dust your surface with flour before rolling out the puff pastry to ensure it doesn't stick to the surface.
This recipe should be made using a 9-inch pie dish. Otherwise, you'll need to roll out the puff pastry dough significantly, and if it's too thin, it'll be hard to transfer to the dish, and the pie will have a thin crust with not enough structure to hold the apples.
The puff pastry sheets will be close to the size of a 9-inch pie dish before they're even rolled out, so they only need to be rolled out slightly. When you transfer the puff pastry after being rolled out, it will be stretchy and expand a little bit more, so it's essential to not over-roll it.
