Mock Apple Pie Recipe

This recipe is a fantastic option for those who may not have apples readily available but are craving that iconic pie flavor. It uses a secret ingredient to create an apple-like filling that’s sure to impress!

Mock Apple Pie

Ingredients

  • 2 9-inch unbaked pie crusts
  • 6 to 8 medium-sized green cooking apples (or one can of apple pie filling)
  • 1 cup of sugar
  • 2 tablespoons of lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon of allspice (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon of butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. If you’re using fresh apples, peel, core, and slice them thinly. You can also opt for canned apple filling if desired, which can save time.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice. Mix well.
  4. Add the sliced apples to the mixture, tossing to coat them thoroughly.
  5. With one of the pie crusts, line a 9-inch pie pan. Pour the apple mixture into the crust, making sure it’s evenly spread.
  6. Dot the filling with small pieces of butter for added richness.
  7. Cover with the second pie crust, and seal the edges. You can create slits in the top crust for steam to escape or create a lattice pattern for a beautiful presentation.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for an additional 25 to 30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
  9. Once baked, let the pie cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the filling to set a bit more!

Enjoy this Mock Apple Pie as a delightful treat that everyone will love, regardless if they know the secret behind the missing apples! Pair it with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate indulgence.
