I’ve never eaten or made a Swedish Apple Pie before, so I didn’t know what to expect. I thought the crust would be crumbly, but it’s more like a cobbler. Sooo yummy. This was super good and way easy to make. I also had all the ingredients, so I’ll probably fall back on this recipe a lot. Another plus is the cooking time isn’t long in comparison to other’s I’ve seen. I served mine with vanilla ice cream… Mmmmm, I want more right now! Thank you!

This was amazing. I did not have any problems with the crust getting hard. Very moist, in fact. I added some extra sugar to toss the aples b/c my experience has proven granny smith’s to be a little bitter… I personally do not even like apple pie but made this for my family and fell in love with it when I tried it.

EASY and delicious! Following the suggestions of other reviewers, I added a bit more flavor to the apples. I mixed in 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and ? teaspoon of ground nutmeg with the 1 tablespoon of white sugar–tossing all with the apples. You may want to put a pan or piece of aluminum foil underneath the pie plate in the oven, as some juices from the apples escaped during baking. I served the pie warm, with scoops of vanilla ice cream on top. Yum!

this was a massive hit at a dinner party on the weekend, and it was really easy to make…
i agree with pavonee about adding one tbsp of cinnam. 1 tbsp of white sugar,1 tbsp of brown sugar and nutmeg in the apples before putting on the crust. I also put 1/2 cup of white sugar and supplemented with 1/2 cup of brown sugar…just adds that extra bit of brilliance. -

Made this the other day with fresh-picked apples and it was a huge hit. Have already been asked to make it again today for my family. My two daughters, (1 and 3) loved it. I followed the advice of others with regard to adding cinnamon, etc. and served it with real whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, (or in my case, both-lol). Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe!

Hmmm. it just seemed to good to be true. I tried this cause i wanted apple pie but i was too lazy to make one. this one seemed easy. i cooked it for about 15 minutes longer, but the batter never firmed up. There was just a thin crunchy top, the rest was just batter really. The bottom was very soggy. I give it some stars cause it didnt tase bad, but i can not serve this to my guests…ever…

I was attracted to this because it didn’t require a rolled piecrust (one thing I’ve never mastered and I “don’t do” store-bought). Before trying this recipe I read the reviews and as others suggested, made modifications to the seasonings. Rather than just using white sugar for tossing the apples, I used 1 tbsp. each white & brown sugar, 1-1/2 tsp. cinnamon, and 3/8 tsp. nutmeg. I used about half of this mixture for tossing the apples, then added the rest to the crust mixture. As for the apples, I used a wonderful variety, Wolf River, available in the Upper Midwest and New York State, though perhaps not common in much of the country. It’s a fairly tart apple and the individual fruits are HUGE – some can weigh as much as a pound. I only needed two apples to make the pie. The results were terrific! (though I did increase the baking time slightly to 50 minutes… just know your oven, check near the end of the cooking time, and adjust accordingly). This recipe is one that I’ll use often… in fact, hubby has already requested that I make it again next week! My heartfelt thanks to the person who originally submitted it.

I love this recipe but it does get a bit bland if you follow the directions exactly. Luckily, I’m a cinnamon fanatic so I actually mix in a teaspoon of sugar (or Slenda) with a teaspoon of cinnamon in my apples. I also replace the 1 teaspoon of cinnamon with either a full tablespoon of cinnamon or 2 teaspoons of cinnamon with 1/3 teaspoon of nutmeg, and a teaspoon of vanilla. It gives more flavor. I also take a very small amount of the batter and spread it on the bottom of my pan to give it a cake-like crust before adding the apples to the pan.

Sure is easy and quick to make. Since I found this recipe, I’ve baked the pie at least 5 times, mixing various apples. The original recipe is excellent, but doing half Fuji and half Granny Smith apples is just as good, not as tart with every bite. I’ve also done this recipe with Goldens and it was also tasty. Great recipe, yum yum.

I love this recipe and make it pretty frequently. I like it with Fujis, but it’s a great way to use up apples that have gone a little too soft to eat. I always add some apple or pumpkin pie spice and cloves to the apples and the batter mix. Last time I made it, it was gone in 10 minutes!

I have loved this recipe for years and years. I agree with supplementing the apple mixture with additional spices such as nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon, etc. The trick to keep the batter from getting too runny is to soften the butter, not melting it. My “secret weapon” with this recipe is a teaspoon of almond extract in the batter – this takes an already easy delicious recipe over the top.

I was skeptical, but since I had to prepare dessert for a potluck I had committed to weeks ago, and I had a bagful of old apples in my fridge and not much else, I took a shot at this recipe. I used brown sugar and added cinnamon and nutmeg to the apples and the crust, used the measurements times 1.5, made it in a casserole dish, and it turned out to be delicious!!! I’m keeping this recipe- why ever make ‘traditional’ apple pie??

This is the easiest pie in the world. I had never made an apple pie but I wanted one for Thanksgiving and this one came out perfect. I did make one change though. I used cinnamon plus (pampered chef version) instead of just cinnamon and I also sprinkled a little cinnamon plus over the apples in addition to the sugar. The crust and apples were perfectly done and the taste was wonderful. So simple too.

This was very good. I agree that it was a bit “soggy” towards the bottom, but delicious! I think the misconception comes in with people thinking it will be more “pie-like” when in fact it comes out more like a cobbler – but tasty all the same! I made for my hubby’s bday and he loved it, as did my non-pie-eating son.

I made it yesterday. I replaced half of the sugar with brown sugar to get a nice dark color. I added the spices like most of the reviews advise and also some powdered vanilla. My batter ended up quite thick to the point where I could not “pour” it on the apples so I got adventurous and added three table spoons of low fat milk. I let it cooked for 20 minutes longer than on the recipe and it ended up beautifully! Nice and crunchy on the edges and “flan” like inside. Not liquid at all… I’ll definitely make it more often and bring it to work. It’s very easy!

OMG thank you for this, it is soooo easy and my grand daughter (an apple pie nut!) loves it. I do put a little cinnamon in with the apples, as well as brown sugar instead of white sugar to toss. ANd I substitute half white and have brown sugar for the topping. Thank you for sharing this tasty, fast, and easy recipe!

I love this recipe!! I made a mistake and put a pie crust on the bottom and it was just wonderful.I also added 1 teaspoon light brown sugar and used 6 apples. I love the cinnamon crust. The only thing is that it doesn’t cook in 40 to 50 minutes. It took me 1 hour and 15 minutes so it would be crunchy. But some ovens are different than others. I have a new oven that seems to take about 10 minutes longer to cook things.

This is a five star recipe if you read all the reviews. Thats what I did. I then combined the winners and the result was a huge hit last night. Since it was more like a cobbler and my group was 10 I used a rectangle casserole pan and 1 1/2 times the recipe. My pan was an 8×9 with probably a 1 1/2″ side. If you use a 9×12 pan you need to double the recipe. For apples. 7 medium granny smith. I peeled sliced and dropped along the way into a bowl of water and lemon juice. This keeps the apples white while you peel. I mixed 1 tablespoon white sugar, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1.5 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp nut meg. After draining and drying of a bit of excess water with a paper towel from the apples I sprinkled and glazed them with the mixture and poured them into a bare pan. For topping the trick is to not over melt the butter. Just soften the butter. Wisk 1 egg, 1.5 cups flour, 3/4 cup brown sugar and 3/4 cup white sugar. Add 1 tsp cinnamon and 1/5 tsp nutmeg. Mix these altogether. Since the topping is not pourable just a large clump at a time of topping and then spread as evenly as possible over apples. It will spread out perfectly while baking. Bake at same temperature and time or until golden brown. The top comes out crispy. Since there is no pie shell you don’t need to treat your casserole pan with butter or oils. Every drop comes out of the pan without sticking. Treating it would just make the dish too buttery. It was wonderul and devoured. It was better than a cob

As many other reviewers did, I adjusted the recipe to add flavor. Tossed 6 very thinly sliced apples with sugar & cinnamon, and placed in two pie plates (one 9-inch and one smaller, 7-8 inch). For the crust, I used 2/3 c. white and 1/3 c. brown sugar, 2/3 c. flour and 1/3 c. graham cracker crumbs, just-melted butter (closer to softened than liquid), nutmeg, and cinnamon. I had enough topping to spread over both pies (thinly), and cooked them together for only 30 min. The apples were very soft (almost like apple sauce), the crust was crunchy, and it was perfect– not too sweet, not too tart– and I have enough for home *and* to take to work. Thanks!

Loved this! Much simpler than messing around with a crust for traditional apple pie. Although traditional apple pie will still have its place, this is much easier and delicious. My husband was quite impressed as were all three kids (ages 7, 5 and 2). I did add half brown/half white sugar to the apples along with cinnamon. I made the topping with half brown/half white sugar also and added a little almond extract as another reviewer suggested. Making it again today to take to my brother and sister-in-law as they just moved to a new house so we’ll see how they like it.

What a great recipe. I was looking for an easy apple pie recipe and came across this one. I love it. I did as others suggested and added 1 TBSP brown sugar, nutmeg and cinnamom to the apples. The apples were still a little tart, so next time I make it, I’ll add more sugar. I think using apple pie spice would be great too. I also used the brown and white sugar in the topping. It was crunchy, chewy…….and so yummy!! I’m making this instead of apple pie for Thanksgiving this year!!

SURPRISE! This is easy and delicious. I used a bottom crust and instead of cutting and fluting it, I folded the draped pastry up and over some of the Swedish ‘crust’, making almost a giant dumpling. It baked beautifully with the pastry crust keeping the apple juices inside. I added a little brown sugar mixed into the apples and used ground clove sparingly in the Swedish crust. The only other change I would make is to use about 1/2 tsp. of almond extract, if any. One tsp. was too much.

Delicious! I softened the butter instead of melting it. I added 1 T. cinnamon, 1/4 tsp. nutmeg, 1 tsp. vanilla, and 1 T. brown sugar & 1 T. white sugar to the sliced apples. Also added cinnamon to the topping. It was very good & I think you could reduce the sugar in the topping — it’s pretty sweet.

I greatly enjoyed this recipe and will make it again. I took it to a Thanksgiving dinner and it was the first to go.
I made a couple of small changes. I threw nutmeg in with the cinnamon. Next time I might add some apple pie spice also. I also use a Pillsbury pie crust in the bottom of the pie plate simply because I already had it. Finally I used half sugar and half brown sugar. Good consistency and nice flavor. Thanks.

I made this and brought it to a dinner party and everyone LOVED it! It was super good. I did make a few adjustments though. I added a LOT of extra sugar (the apples were off our own trees and are REALLY tart) and a little bit of nutmeg. Once I had slathered on the sauce, I alternated layers of raw sugar and oatmeal. This made it have a nice crumbly “crust” on top & it looked awesome! Thanks for the recipe – I will make this again!

This was an interesting recipe. I definitely agree with other reviewers about the need for additional spice. I used 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp allspice, and 1/8 tsp nutmeg in the crust; 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/3 or so tsp allspice, 1 T. white sugar and 1 T. brown sugar for the apples. We’re cinnamon freaks, so that might be a bit much for others. I followed the advice of earlier bakers and only softened my butter rather than melting it; I ended up having to press my batter piecemeal into the pan to create the top crust. As the recipe specified, I didn’t put in a bottom crust, and while it definitely made things easier, it was a bit odd when people ate it. In some ways, this was almost a cobbler rather than a pie. It’s a nice change, though, with a couple of minor additions – and a lot easier than wrestling with pie crusts! Thanks for sharing the recipe.

For an absolute beginner like me, this was an excellent and very easy to follow recipe. I did sprinkle some powder cinnamon to the apples and tossed them with brown sugar, to the batter mix, as suggested I put some vanilla drops and finally sprinkled a bit more cinnamon over it before baking it. Lovely….

Delicious!!! I made it exactly like the recipe, except for substituting Splenda for half of the sugar, and adding 1/4 tsp of cardamom to the dough (just because cardamom is such a Swedish sort of spice…), and it turned out wonderfully. My daughter’s boyfriend is Swedish, and she says this is very like the apple pie he made when she visited him in Sweden this summer.

I read the reviews first – then made the pie (to get tips). I have to say that I’ve never baked a pie and this recipe – will be an ongoing favorite in our home for years. It’s so easy, that I involved my 2 girls (4 & 11) to each make one (measure, beat/stir, peeling the apples, etc). WE LOVED IT. I used more sugar than the recipe called for (1/4 cup each of white and brown) and it was PERFECT. We picked our Granny Smith apples from an orchard here in town and that made it all the more special. In the crust topping – I also added Vanilla Extract (didn’t have any Almond on hand). Made two at a time and it was GREAT. Make sure the topping isn’t too wet and you clump it on top of the apples. We had one wet and one clumpy. We thought they both were good – however, the clumpiest was a bit better. Thank you for all the reviews. Have fun making this and ENJOY!

This recipe is one of my all time in a pinch desert recipe. I add cinnamon to the apples mixture as well, as my family loves cinnamon anything. I have made this recipe with pears (precooked), peaches (canned and precooked), and various berries in place of the apples. I have noticed it needs about five more minutes in higher elevations, but is fine at 40 minutes near sea level. In general a wonderful all around desert recipe.

I am not a big fan of apple pie by any means. I ran across this recipe while looking for something for my husband who loves apple pie. I gave this a shot and he asks for it all the time, I have made it for holidays and everyone in my family likes it! I don’t know how many people have asked for the recipe! I eventually tried it and I even love it! It is soft and sweet. It isn’t like your typical apple pie! It is wonderful, I agree with others, it is much like a cobbler… absolutely wonderful!

I followed the recipe exactly except that I had a bottom crust that I wanted to use before it expired so after I made the filling I simply poured it in on top of the crust and then followed the rest of the directions for the topping. My husband LOVED it! How can you not love food that has a stick and a half of butter in it! I melted the butter as the recipe stated and the topping set very well.
