A warm, fruity breakfast pie with tender apples, raisins, and a cinnamon-sugar topping, perfect for a cozy morning or brunch treat that delights the senses.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine Bisquick, egg, milk, sugar, oil, chopped nuts, and raisins in a bowl.
- Pour the batter into a buttered 9-inch pan.
- Arrange the apple wedges evenly on top of the batter.
- Mix together sugar, cinnamon, and oleo (margarine or butter).
- Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the apples.
- Bake at 375°F (190°C) until the pie is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using brown sugar instead of white sugar in the batter. You can substitute the raisins with dried cranberries or chopped dates if you prefer. If you want to add a bit of crunch, try incorporating some rolled oats into the batter. This Apple Breakfast Pie is a great way to use up any leftover apples you have from making American recipes.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this Apple Breakfast Pie warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top for a delightful contrast. It pairs beautifully with Butter Pecan Ice Cream Dessert for a more indulgent treat. For a balanced meal, consider serving it alongside a fresh fruit salad or a dollop of yogurt for added creaminess.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, cover the pie with plastic wrap or transfer it to an airtight container. It can be kept in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place individual slices in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds or warm the entire pie in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different fruits in this pie?
Absolutely! While apples are the star of this recipe, you can experiment with other fruits like pears or peaches. Just make sure to adjust the sugar, as some fruits are sweeter than others. Mixing fruits can also create a unique flavor profile!
Is there a gluten-free option for this recipe?

How can I enhance the flavor of the apples?
To enhance the flavor of the apples, consider tossing them in a little lemon juice and additional cinnamon before arranging them on the batter. This will not only brighten their flavor but also help keep them from browning.
