Tips & Substitutions
For a sweeter apple pie, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg along with the ginger and cinnamon. If you don't have graham cracker pie shells, a traditional pastry crust works well too. You can also use fresh apples instead of canned, just be sure to adjust the sugar based on the tartness of your apples. This pie is a great companion to a scoop of vanilla ice cream or pairs beautifully with 5 Minute Lemon Pie.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this delicious apple pie with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert. It pairs wonderfully with a cup of hot tea or coffee. For a festive touch, consider garnishing with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a drizzle of caramel sauce. This pie is a perfect ending to meals like Sausage Brunch Casserole or can be enjoyed as a sweet snack throughout the day.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place a slice in the microwave for about 30 seconds, or enjoy it cold straight from the fridge. If you prefer a warm pie, heat it in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes until warmed through.
