Almost Apple Pie
By: Gerry 999
Sep 9, 2004
While this recipe is good any time it is the first one requested when the fall apples ripen. It was passed to me by a family member. The recipe calls for an 8x8 deep baking pan. Family member uses a corning ware casserole dish for the baking which makes for a lovely dessert. I often bake it in a pie plate and when cool slice and serve as you would pie. Using white sugar in the crumb crust has it so tasting like pastry. Quick and easy to make. NOTE - recently found this recipe from an old family cookbook is called aunties 'Old Fashioned Crumb Cake' and calls for baking in a 425 oven for 40 to 50 minutes or until brown and crisp. Just made it and found baked at the higher temperature it very like an apple crisp - an absolutely delicious version of Almost Apple Pie and another great apple dessert to serve family and friends. Ovens vary - I used a slightly lower oven temp.

My husband reminded me yesterday that he did like the recipe. (I did not because the top came out flowery...) So I had to change the rating to be fair, Gerry.

Very good and VERY easy. I have never made apple pie before and was scared I'd mess it up. I decided to give this a shot and it ended up tasting very good. My husband and daughter both loved it. I loved that my house smelled like homemade apple pie. This is definitely going to be a favorite around our house.

I would like to give you more stars, but my hands are tied. This was great. I have always wanted to make an apple pie from scratch, but have been to lazy and perhaps a little apprehensive about making my own pie crust...Well this solved my problem. I made this and the aroma was wonderful. I baked it for about 1 hour(my oven's fault)This wasnt only just easy, It was delicious. The next time, I think I will substitute brown sugar for the regular sugar in the apple mixture. I added vanilla, which enhanced the already yummy taste. I also think the next time I will put the crust in the oven for maybe 10 or 15 minutes to brown a bit and then add the rest. I ate this warm (I couldnt wait for it to cool) with ice cream. The title says it all..Almost apple pie.Thanks for this delicious recipe!!

Your preamble tells it all - quick, easy & the base tastes just like pastry! I added a wee dash of nutmeg to the apples & will probably use some brown sugar in the crumb topping next time - and there will definitely be a next time. Thanx Gerry!
