Easy Apple Pie Recipe

I am always looking for easy recipes that allow me to make things at home instead of buying them from the store. Sometimes home recipes are just too much work and so I end up going to the store and buying the item instead. With this peanut butter apple pie recipe I wanted it to be easy, tasty, and have that homemade feel but without all the work of doing everything from scratch. That is why the recipe calls for a store-bought pie crust instead of making it from scratch. If you love baking and want to make it from scratch please do as it will come out even better! This apple pie recipe takes only 15 minutes of active prep time.

Filling for Peanut Butter Apple Pie

Believe it or not, this recipe uses a basic apple pie filling. The peanut butter is in the topping. This means this recipe is easy to adapt to your needs. It also means you can use a canned apple pie filling to make this recipe. If you like canning and have lots of extra apples in the fall, I recommend checking out this Canning Apple Pie Filling Recipe from My Kitchen Escapades. It is a great way to have amazing apple filling all year round. And when you have extra there are so many other great uses for it from topping pancakes and waffles to ice cream and pork chops!

Apple Pie Crumb Topping

Now this crumble topping for the peanut butter apple pie recipe is where the peanut butter flavor comes from. This is a super easy crumble topping recipe. If you want to make a more traditional apple pie with a crumble on top you can simply replace the peanut butter with more butter. If you do this I recommend adding a pinch of salt and a dash of vanilla to give your topping some extra flavor.

Ingredients in Peanut Butter Crumble Topping

This crumble topping uses only 4 ingredients that most of us always have on hand. You can also make extra crumble and baking it in the oven on a silicone mat or a sheet pan with pan spray or nonstick foil. I like to do this as the crumble topping is not only great on pies but also a wonderful topping for ice cream, yogurt, oatmeal, pancakes, french toast and cereal.

• butter
• peanut butter
• rolled oats

Enjoy the classic combination of peanut butter and apple in a satisfying pie!

• Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes
• Yield: 8 1x

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

• 1 refrigerated pie crust left at room temperature for 30 minutes (or homemade)
• 4 slices large apples peeled, cored, and cut into 1/4“(I used Gala apples)
• 3/4 cup brown sugar divided

• 4 tablespoon butter divided
• 1/4 cup peanut butter
• 3/4 cup rolled oats

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Press pie crust into pie pan, trim overhang, and crimp edges. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, stir together apple, 1/2 c. brown sugar, 2 tbsp. flour, and cinnamon. Pour apple mixture into pie crust, and gently press down to make the filling somewhat flat. Dot apples with 1 tbsp. of cold butter.
3. Place peanut butter and 3 tbsp. butter in a medium, microwave-safe bowl. Heat for 30-45 seconds until butter is melted, stirring once during heating. Stir until smooth. Add oats, 1/4 c. brown sugar, and 1/3 c. flour. Stir together, then use your fingers to crumble the peanut butter mixture evenly over the apple filling. (It’s OK if it doesn’t cover the filling completely.)
4. Cover the edge of the pie with a silicone pie ring or aluminum foil. Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until apples are tender and crumb topping is golden brown. Serve warm or cold, preferably with vanilla ice cream.

Notes

I have a pretty shallow pie pan, and this amount of filling fits perfectly. For a deep dish pan, you should increase the filling ingredients by 50%.
You could eliminate the crust to make this as an apple crumble.

Yesterday I was in need of dessert (when am I NOT in need of dessert?), so I decided to make a pie. Regular old apple pie didn’t seem blog worthy, so I tried to think of how I could add some pizazz. Nothing says pizazz like peanut butter. Let’s just get this out in the open right now: I use store-bought pie crust. There. I said it. If I made my own crust, I would be lucky to make a pie for Thanksgiving, and that would be about it. I find that refrigerated pie crusts do their job just fine, and that’s what I’m recommending here. If you love making your own crust, you have my upmost respect. Please substitute your homemade crust, and then follow the rest of the recipe. Now, let’s get to the pie!
