Ingredients
Instructions
- Stir together sugar, milk, flour, and nutmeg, then pour over the apples in the unbaked pie shell.
- Dot the filling with butter and cinnamon (optional).
- Cover with the top crust.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 45 minutes until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For the best flavor, use a mix of sweet and tart apples like Granny Smith and Honeycrisp. If you don’t have flour, cornstarch can be a great substitute to thicken the filling. To enhance the spice, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon to the sugar mixture. A dash of lemon juice can also brighten the flavors of the apples.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Buddy's Apple Pie warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a classic pairing. It also goes well with a cup of coffee or tea. For a festive touch, consider serving it alongside Snowballs (Chocolate Filled) for dessert variety at gatherings.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover apple pie in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container. It will keep well for up to 3-4 days. To reheat, place slices in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until warmed through, ensuring the crust stays crisp.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other fruits in this pie?
Yes, you can substitute apples with other fruits like pears or peaches, but keep in mind that their cooking times may vary. Make sure to adjust the sugar accordingly based on the sweetness of the fruit used.
How can I tell when the pie is done baking?
The pie is done when the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. You can also insert a knife through the crust to check if the apples are tender. If the top crust is browning too quickly, cover it with foil.
Is there a way to make this pie vegan?
Absolutely! You can use a vegan pie crust and substitute the milk with almond or oat milk. For the butter, coconut oil or a vegan butter alternative works well. Just ensure that the sugar used is vegan-friendly.
