Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
- Grease a 10-inch by 1½-inch pie plate.
- Mix sliced tart apples with cinnamon and nutmeg; turn into the prepared pie plate.
- In a blender, beat the remaining ingredients (milk, Bisquick, eggs, butter, sugar) until smooth, about 15 seconds on high.

- Sprinkle streusel over the top.
- Bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, approximately 55 to 60 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a sweeter pie, consider using a mix of tart and sweet apples like Granny Smith and Honeycrisp. If you're out of Bisquick, you can substitute it with an equal amount of all-purpose flour mixed with a teaspoon of baking powder. Remember to slice the apples thinly for even cooking, and feel free to add a splash of vanilla extract for extra flavor.
Serving Suggestions
This pie is best served warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. It pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee or tea, making it an excellent choice for dessert after dinner or at a brunch gathering. Consider serving it alongside a light salad for balance.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual slices in the microwave for about 30 seconds or until warmed through. Alternatively, you can reheat the pie in a 350°F oven for 10-15 minutes to maintain its crispness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen apples for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen apples, but it's best to thaw and drain them first to avoid excess moisture in the pie. Keep in mind that the texture may be slightly different than with fresh apples, but the flavor will still be delicious.
How can I make this pie gluten-free?
To make this pie gluten-free, simply replace the Bisquick with a gluten-free baking mix. Ensure that all other ingredients, including the sugar and milk, are certified gluten-free. This way, you can enjoy the pie without gluten while still having that delicious flavor.
What type of apples should I use?
For the best flavor, use tart apples like Granny Smith, which hold their shape well during baking. You can also mix in sweeter varieties like Fuji or Honeycrisp for added complexity. The combination will give you a delightful balance of sweet and tart in every bite.
