Do I smell Apple Pie?

I like to make Apple Pizza Pie instead of regular apple pie because it's flat and you get more crumble topping in each bite - yum! Plus it makes a great dessert for a group since you can cut it into whatever size squares you need.

When the kids were little we went to the apple orchard every fall, but now I just wait until our grocery store has local apples. I like to use Granny Smith or Braburn apples, but any tart baking apple is good.

Make crust for a two crust pie and roll it out a little bigger than a 12" pizza pan.

My mom taught me how to make the fluted edge on the crust - but mine never gets quite as even as hers. I peel more apples than I think will fit because they shrink down when they are baked. Hmmm, maybe some of the shrinkage is because they taste really good after they are tossed with the cinnamon and sugar.

The crumble topping covers the apples.

Kirk was downstairs shipping orders today when the pie went into the oven, and before it was even done he came upstairs and asked "Do I smell Apple Pie?" The poor guy had to wait for it to finish baking, and then he had to wait even longer for me to take this picture before he could dig in!

You've really got my mouth watering, the recipe is wonderful. I suppose since it's thinner than an apple pie it has half the calories? :)

[Pamela]

Your pie recipe is a keeper! I can smell it now! I have fiestaware (all colors) and everything tastes better on those dishes! Thanks for sharing!

[Christina D]

Thank you for the recipe! Our family prefers a crumble top on our pies, so this will be perfect.

[Kelly Ann]

if we bake the pie will Kirk end up in our kitchen looking for his piece?

[Angie Wood]

Oh boy I think an apple pie is in the near future! Be back tomorrow!

[Debbie Gallett]

What a fabulous idea! I love it. I don't like apple pie (I know.. i'm a freak) but I love the crust with a bit of the apple pie flavor. This just might do it for me!

Love the idea of apple pizza! Makes me want to play hooky and bake today! Maybe tonight...

[Jocelyn]

Looks great! We don't get those delicious apples down south. I never knew there were so many varieties until I visited my friend in Ohio.

[Grace]

You ladies are killing me with all of these delicious recipes. Apple pizza pie or pumpkin bread, I don't know which one to make first! Thank you for sharing this recipe.

[Rhonda Beam]

Looks delicious. THanks for the recipe.

[Claire]

I love the smell of walking through an apple orchard. Such a crisp, fesh smell. And, the taste! Well, that’s for another post. oooh, a new recipe to try. I love Northern Spy apples. They are ready just after the first frost here in Canada.

[SuzK]

Oh boy, I can "smell" that now. I've been wondering what to serve some friends who are coming over on Sunday ... that's it! Thank you!

[Melisa]

What could be better than apple pie? Apple PIZZA pie, for sure! I'll be trying this soon, thanks for sharing!

[Brenda Pigott]

I'm going to buy some apples today I think, even if I should be on a diet. And I agree about the fiesta plate, mine are yellow and blue.

[Sandra]

That apple pie looks absolutly wonderful. Thanks for the recipe. Enjoying the blog hop with all the wonderful pictures & recipes.

[Karen]

Inknow I'm going to love your apple pizza pie as much as I love your patterns.

[madame samm]

OHH yes your pie sounds downright appetizing..they say apple pie without cheese is like a hug without a squeeze...
I think I will have to give it a try with a slice of cheddar on the side..

I had a friend in college whose mother regularly sent boxes (big ones) of sugar cookies. He and I got into a discussion about apple pie and I told him that was my mother's specialty -- that I'd never tasted pie as good as hers. Of course he immediately said his mom's was better. The next time I went home, I had Mom bake me a pie to take back to school. John conceded the pie championship to my mom, but nothing has surpassed his mother's sugar cookies.

Fall is the time for getting back to baking, because I don't have to worry about heating the house up with the oven. It's also homemade soup time.

I printed your wonderful recipe. Just vowed this am not to bake for a while, but I think I'll sneak this one in anyway. Do you have any problem with it running over the pan? Thanks so much. I do love your patterns - use them all the time. Hugs, barb

[Debbie St.Germain]

I love apples from the orchard and we used to pick them too.
I got mine from the store this time, saves gas and they are local.
I usually make apple crisp for me.

[linda]

YUMMY! I can smell it too. Thanks for the recipe.

[Louise K.]

I love apples in anything, and have a few Red Delicious on my tree that I get to look at everyday out my kitchen window. Thanks for the recipe!

[Beth]

Hi Terry,

The pie looks amazing! Can't wait to try it out. Your directions to the quilt store were perfect. I will never go the other way again!

[Sew Create It - Jane]

mmmm- you are making me hungry! That pie looks delicious

[Kay]

Thanks for the apple pie recipe. I can't wait to make it. My husband will thank you, also.

[Polly]

OMG!!!!! I'm cravin' that pie right now...but would add a dollop of vanilla ice cream!! YUM! Polly

[Marcia W.]

Your apple pie receipe sounds wonderful. This morning my mother made persimmon cakes and that is a fantastic fall fragrance! Thanks for a fun blog hop. mlwright29 (at) hotmail (dot) com

[Deb]

Well now you have me craving Apple Pie Pizza...apples ARE on my food list as I begin some healthy habits this week. I think I will make this for my fellas in celebration of fall finally arriving yesterday.

[Katie S. :)]

Yum! I never thought about making a pie into a pizza, very clever! It's almost a cross between an apple pie and apple crisp. Can't wait to try it! Thanks!! :D

[Lovie Ball]

Going to make this tonight - but will use puff-pastry for the crust. I can always go back on my diet once this hop is over. Love the recipes.

[Jennifer]

Good idea! Everyone knows the sugary top is the best part!

[Wendy P]

Stop! Y'all are making me hungry!

When my great grandmother was alive, she made the best ever apple pie. My dad was flying home after visiting with her and she gave him a pie to carry on the plane for us, fresh out of the oven. Dad said everyone on that plane offered him cash for the pie.

[Robin Crittenden]

great recipe. can't wait to try it

[donna]

Thanks for the apple pizza recipe. I've been reading all about pumpkin bread and pie and almost forgot apple is my absolute favorite. May have to try your recipe this evening. The pumpkin bread can wait until the weekend. Happy blog hopping.

[Mary]

Thanks for the recipe! A great idea for another variation on my favorite dessert!

[Cindy Keery]

Thanks so much for sharing your recipe. It looks delicious! I like to make Apple Pie Squares, cuz like you say, you can cut it into smaller pieces! I use a jelly roll pan to make it in.

[Jackie]

Thanks so much for sharing your recipe - I'll be over in 10 minutes with my tea haha.

[Bonnie N]

I'm smelling the pie already!! Great recipe!! Thank you

[Pat Dillard]

The pie sounds delicious!!! Thanks for sharing.

[Cathi]

Dear Hubby and I just went apple picking this past weekend. What a way to use up some apples without the same recipe! Thanks for sharing!!

[Leslie Schmidt]

Thanks for the recipe, Terry. I am going to make this soon. One of the problems with pies is that they take so much work and you don't get many servings from them. I think this will be a good solution. Does it matter if the Fiesta plate is new, or does it have to be vintage? If it requires vintage, we'll have to take turns eating off it!

[Erika]

have to try your recipe it looks delish

[Wendy]

I enjoy making apple jelly with our local MacIntosh apples...gorgeous pink color but truly lacking the delicious smell of an apple pie :)

[Laura Hayward]

I love making pear pie from the wild pear trees that grow on my grandparent's farm. MMMMMM

[Beth Bush]

LOVE LOVE LOVE apple pie!!!

[sandy]

[Deborah]

We just went to the NC mountains last weekend and I picked up a big bag of apples. Your recipe is just the thing I needed! Great timing. dmj53(at)hotmail(dot)com

[Laura Hayward]

I can almost smell the bean soup and the apple pie. I need to go home and turn on my oven. lol.

[Bobbi Delsing]

Mmmmmmmmm....must try that Apple Pizza Pie..

[Karen T in ND]
