Ingredients
Instructions
- Prepare the 9-inch unbaked pie crust and place it in a pie dish.
- Fill the crust with chipped apples.
- In a bowl, combine 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and melted margarine.
- Add the beaten egg to the mixture and stir well.
- Pour the cinnamon mixture evenly over the chipped apples.
- Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 30 to 40 minutes until golden and bubbly.
- Serve warm with ice cream.
Tips & Substitutions
For the best flavor, use a mix of tart and sweet apples like Granny Smith and Honeycrisp. If you don't have margarine, unsalted butter can be used as a substitute for a richer taste. To prevent the pie crust from getting too brown, cover the edges with foil during baking. If you're short on time, pre-chopped apples are available at many grocery stores.
Serving Suggestions
Chipped Apple Pie is delightful when served warm, especially with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. For a festive touch, drizzle with caramel sauce or sprinkle with chopped nuts. It also pairs beautifully with Our Traditional Cranberry Salad for a refreshing contrast. Enjoy it as a comforting dessert after a hearty meal or as a sweet snack any time of day.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover apple pie in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container. It can last for up to three days. To reheat, place slices in a microwave for about 30 seconds or warm the whole pie in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes until heated through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other types of fruit in this pie?
Yes, you can substitute chipped apples with other fruits like pears or peaches. Just ensure they're firm enough to hold their shape during baking. You might need to adjust the sugar and spices based on the sweetness and flavor 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 bubbly. You can also gently shake the pie; if the center jiggles slightly but is set, it's ready. Keep an eye on it as baking times may vary depending on your oven.
Can I make this pie ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the pie and freeze it unbaked for up to two months. Just wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil. When ready to bake, you can bake it straight from the freezer, adding an extra 10-15 minutes to the baking time.
