Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt the margarine in a long baking dish.
- Mix the self-rising flour, Crisco, and sweet milk to form a dough.
- Roll the dough into a ball, then roll out thin.
- Spread the sliced Granny Smith apples evenly on the dough.
- Sprinkle generously with apple pie spice.
- Roll up the dough with apples inside into a long, jelly-roll shape.
- Cut the rolled dough into slices about 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick.
- Place the slices in the baking dish with the apple side up, in the melted margarine.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using butter instead of margarine, or a combination of both. If you don’t have sweet milk, regular milk or a milk alternative can work as a substitute. Adjust the apple pie spice to your taste, or add a pinch of cinnamon for extra warmth. If you're short on time, premade pie crust can be used for a quicker assembly.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the rolled apple pie warm, drizzled with caramel sauce or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat. It pairs beautifully with Cheesy Apple Crisp for a delightful dessert spread. Consider adding a dollop of whipped cream on top for extra creaminess, or enjoy alongside a cup of spiced cider.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover rolled apple pie slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place slices in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through. For a crispier texture, you can also reheat them in a toaster oven.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of apple for this recipe?
Yes, you can use other apple varieties such as Honeycrisp or Fuji for a sweeter flavor. However, Granny Smith apples are preferred for their tartness, which balances the sweetness of the sugar.
How can I prevent the apples from getting too soggy?
To prevent sogginess, you can toss the sliced apples with a tablespoon of flour or cornstarch before adding them to the dough. This will help absorb excess moisture during baking and keep the filling intact.
Can I freeze the rolled apple pie?
Yes, you can freeze the rolled apple pie before baking. Wrap the slices tightly in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe container. When ready to bake, thaw in the refrigerator overnight and then bake as directed. This makes for a convenient dessert option!
