Swedish Apple Pie(Quick And Easy)
A quick and easy Swedish apple pie featuring tender apples, cinnamon, and a nutty topping, perfect for cozy gatherings or a comforting dessert.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Butter a 9-inch pie plate and fill it with peeled and sliced apples.
- Mix sugar and cinnamon together.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the apples.
- In a bowl, cream together butter and sugar.
- Add the egg and flour; mix well.
- Drop the batter over the apples and spread it evenly.
- Sprinkle chopped nuts over the top.
- Bake in a 350°F oven for 40 to 45 minutes.
- Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream.
Tips & Substitutions
For a more complex flavor, consider using a mix of sweet and tart apples such as Granny Smith and Honeycrisp. If you want a nut-free version, simply omit the chopped nuts or substitute with oats for a different texture. When mixing the batter, be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine! This pie is also great if you add a splash of vanilla extract for extra depth.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast to the warm, spiced apples. This Swedish Apple Pie pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee or tea, making it a perfect dessert for gatherings. For an extra touch, drizzle with caramel sauce or serve with whipped cream. It also complements a light salad, such as California Style Brussels Sprouts.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, cover the pie tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for up to 3 days. If you want to reheat, simply place slices in a microwave for about 30 seconds or warm in an oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes until heated through. This pie is best enjoyed fresh, but it's still delicious as leftovers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen apples for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen apples, but make sure to thaw and drain any excess moisture before using them in the pie. This helps prevent the pie from becoming soggy. Adjust the sugar based on the tartness of the apples, as frozen apples can sometimes be sweeter.
What type of nuts work best in this recipe?
Chopped walnuts or pecans work wonderfully in this pie, adding a nice crunch. If you prefer a milder flavor, you could use slivered almonds. For a nut-free version, consider using oats or leaving them out entirely – the pie will still be delicious.
Can I make this pie ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the pie a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator before baking. Simply cover it well to prevent it from drying out. When you're ready to serve, just bake it according to the instructions, and you'll have a freshly baked pie ready to enjoy.
