Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix together the dry ingredients: sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add chopped apples, chopped nuts, and the beaten egg to the dry mixture.
- Stir everything together until well combined.
- Spread the mixture into an 8-inch pie plate.
- Bake at 350°F for 25 to 30 minutes, testing apples for tenderness with a toothpick.
- Serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using brown sugar instead of white. You can substitute the chopped nuts with oats for a different texture, or leave them out entirely for a nut-free version. Experiment with different apple varieties for unique sweetness levels. Make sure the apples are well-coated in the batter for even cooking, and avoid overmixing to keep the pie light.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Swedish Apple Pie warm, topped with a generous dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast. It pairs beautifully with a warm cup of tea or coffee, making it a perfect dessert after dinner. For a festive touch, consider adding a sprinkle of cinnamon on top before serving.

How do I know when the pie is done baking?
