I won 1st place in an apple bake-off contest with this recipe. It is the easiest and best apple pie I have ever tasted. It has no crust, believe me, it doesn’t need one. I always use Granny Smith apples because they are the best apples for pies. Enjoy!!!!

This recipe has been a family fqvorite for years.So happy to find it again just in time for Thanksgiving!!
-
My 13 year old daughter made this pie by herself for a church potluck dinner. Several ladies commented on how wonderful it was and if I could give them the recipe. The looks on their faces when I explained my child had made it was priceless. The dessert was light and flavorful with just the right amount of richness and spices. It’s ease in preparation makes it perfect for kids to do all by themselves.
-
My boyfriend is from Sweden, and I’m constantly trying to find authentic yet savory receipes to prepare for him. One taste, and he exclaimed it was indeed as he’s had as a child in Sweden! This was simple, yet delicious and a crowd pleaser! Much Mahalo for the recipe!
Aloha,
Healani Ortiz~ -
I have made this recipe for the past 8 years with a little bit of a variation, but the results are the same. To die for. It is a hearty pie with a good old fashioned taste. It is quick and easy and I’d say the hardest part is cutting and coring the apples which you can have your children do with a gadget. Excellent desert and best when served with Vanilla ice cream.
-
I tested this recipe out for an upcoming Swedish family reunion and it was fabulous!! I have seen this recipe in several Swedish recipe books but had never tried it until now. The only thing I would change, since I made everything in the food processor, would be to sprinkle the pecans on top of the apples before putting the topping on (otherwise you have pecan dust!). The best apple pie I have tasted! Tack, Sonja!
-
If you never make another pie, this is the one to make. I’ve attempted pies before, without much success. I couldn’t believe I made this one and it was GREAT and easy!!! I could make and eat this one every other day.
-
This is the best apple dessert ever. Thanks for the recipe. I used macintosh apples and it was done in only 50 minutes, so watch baking time.
-
The best pie I have ever tasted, so unlike the others! I will make this often since it was gone in about a minute!
-
This is more like a cake then a pie. I doubled the recipe and baked it in a 9 X 13 pan. It tastes better the next day. All in all, very good.
-
gggggggghhhhhhhhhh…soooo good! Incredibly easy too!
-
This is an easy pie to make and it is great tasting. The pecans give it a nice flavor. Everyone loved it.
-
This was SOOOOOO easy and tasted great. Apple pie without the work and not as messy to eat. Will make again and again.
-
This was a very easy recipe to make. I substituted almonds for the pecans and the crunch is a nice addition. This pie is cake-like since the topping sinks in and around the apples and bakes to a cake like consistency. It was easier to serve than a traditional apple pie, but not very juicy and I even put in extra apple.
-
loved this pie. it reminds me of a cobbler. i was leary when i dumped the batter on top of the apples, but man, it’s sweet, cake-y and has a nice crunchy top. i omitted the nuts.
-
I loved this recipe!! It wasn’t too sweet. My husband said it was the best he’s ever had!
-
Not what I had hoped for. It was easy to make but at least for my family a disappointing addition to Thanksgiving. We really like a good cinnamon taste which this lacked and the topping was not that great either.
-
I was a little worried while making this, but it was a hit!! I accidentally used a frozen pie shell, misread directions, but that made it hold together. I added oats to the topping and sprinkled with brown sugar before baking. Definitely add the nuts!! THANKS!
-
This is my second apple pie I’ve ever made. I thought It was OK when I tasted the day I made, but I enjoyed it a lot better after two or three days since apple absorbed its juice. Now I LOVE this recipe! Oh, I used softened unsalted butter instead of melted margarine.
-
SO GOOD! This was very very delicious. The apples were very tender underneath, and the crust on top was delicious and chewy. Some changes that I made and found effective: for sprinkle mixture used brwn sugar instead of white, used about 2x cinnamon, and added 1/4 tsp cornstarch to make sure the apples juices congeled. I also zested about 1/4 lemon over the apples and squeeze about 1/4 lemon of juice over them. For the topping, I used 1/2 cup white sugar and a half cup unpacked brown sugar. THIS MADE IT VERY Excellent. The crust came to a dark golden brown and was so yummy. I will definitly make this soon again.
-
This was outstanding. I have already made this twice this week.
-
Very quick and easy to make. I made the basic “as is” recipe and also made it with Rose’s recommendations. Hands down Rose’s version was better. I also would like to recommend doubling the amount of apples(sugar and cinnimon accordingly).I thought the original recipe tasted more like an apple brownie—what ever that is!
-
added whole pecans on top. made it look nice.
-
This is hands down the best apple pie ever! You definitely do not need a crust for this, I make it all the time now. Thanks for a great recipe!
-
I picked this because it looked easy and used ingredients on hand. It was easy! While it wasn’t as super sweet as many of my favorite desserts, it was good. The topping had started getting a little too crispy for my liking so I might shorten the cooking time.
My Swedish boyfriend absolutely loved it. I was a little concerned that the topping mixture was so thick and hard to “spread”, but it turned out fine so I guess that’s how it should be.
The two of us finished off half of the dish (with icecream) in one sitting so I wouldn’t suggest trying to feed 8 with this. 4-6 is probably about right. -
Thank you for a wonderful, delicious recipe! This is the easiest homemade dessert I have ever made, and I was told it is “the best apple pie, hands down!” We loved it & I can’t wait to share the recipe with others.
-
Topped with vanilla ice cream this is wonderful. I wouldn’t call it pie, it’s more like a cobbler, and the crust has a crisp/chewy texture. I made mine in a 9×9 square Pyrex pan and used 5 large Granny Smith apples. I can’t wait till the kids come home so I can make it for them. It made the whole house smell divine. An added bonus, it’s easy. It took me about 10 minutes to peel and slice the apples and mix up the crust.
(NOTE: I sprinkled 3 tsp. of sugar on the apples, one didn’t sound like enough. Also, I left out the pecans.) This recipe gets a big thumbs up from me! -
My husband never eats pies or cakes because they are too sweet. He liked it so much I had to make two.
-
Unbelievable recipe! Everyone loves it! I make it all the time, as I get requests for it so often! And it’s so freakin easy to make! Here are the minor changes I made: i put the sliced apples into a bowl and mix them well with brown sugar (not white), the cinnamon, and 1/4 lemon’s juice. i do not add pecans. Otherwise the recipe is great as it is! Thanks Sonja! My family devours your pie every Friday evening. 🙂
-
Great. More like a cake, not a pie. Good dessert. Serve with ice cream or whipped topping. Pretty easy to make.
-
This recipe was especially easy to make and tasted great! My wife and I ate half the pie at one sitting!! I did make one change and used someones suggestion to use 1/2 cup white sugar and 1/2 cup of brown sugar. I thought the pie was a little too sweet so next time I will use about 1/2 as much sugar and see how that tastes. Thanks Sonja for a terrific recipe!
-
Simply loved it. Quick and easy and delicious. I cut the sugar quantity though, used 1/4 cup white sugar and 1/2 cup brown sugar. Came out perfect. tks for sharing.
-
I have been making this recipe for years and I absolutly love it! It tastes delicious warm. Real comfort food!
-
Although this pie wasn’t horrible, it just wasn’t what I was looking for. I did like the added pecans, but we didn’t care much for the “cookie” like crust on top. The flavor, all in all, was pretty good.
-
Great w/a few changes: Reduced sugar to 3/4 c., and used 1/2 c. marg or butter. Subs. walnuts instead of pecans. Great with vanilla ice cream.
-
It was very good, but just a little mushy. I used macs for apples, so maybe that was the reason.
-
Just finished making it and it is delicious. Only variations I made were adding vanilla to the crust and adding more sugar and cinnamon to the apples and less to the crust. Will make again!
-
Super easy to make and tasty too! When you want apple pie fast, and don’t feel like making/rolling out a crust, this is the pie for you. I like to combine 2-3 varieties of cooking apples for the best flavor and texture (professional pastry chefs agree). I also left out the nuts, but I might consider finely grinding them next time. This pie is very rich!
-
I always get rave reviews when I make this recipe. In fact I won 1st prize in a baking contest with it!!!!
-
This was so sweet with all the suger. I used granny smith as the recipe suggested. We are big fans of apple pie in this house and this it didnt’ get rave reviews so I gave it three stars.
-
The best recipes are often the simplest. This is no exception. We’ve been making this for almost five years and it is now a family staple, especially around the holidays. We always use Granny Smith apples, as these provide the best consistency and flavor. Excellent!
-
What do you do with th eremaining 1/3 of apples?
-
This is excellent but it isn’t ‘real’ apple pie. More like a coffee cake. Very tasty!
-
I’ve swapped out almonds, cashews and pinenuts for pecans (don’t like them) over the many times I”ve made this – otherwise followed the recipe.
FANTASTIC! With Granny Smith apples there’s a “zip” to it. With ice cream it is absolute heaven… -
I love this recipe. The only thing I might say is that it was done after 50 minutes.
-
First time making apple pie. Everyone loved it, but I personally thought it was a little too sweet.
-
This was really good. I didn’t know what to expect, but it’s quite a bit like bread pudding made with apples. My family loved it and ate it all immediately!
-
This was my first time baking a pie of any kind, and I enjoyed the experience, and the result was wonderful. My parents and I enjoyed this delicious pie, and it was easy to make.
-
This is a great recipe for those who do not have much in their cupboards at the time. Simple and delicious.
-
Absolutely delicious and gone in minutes whenever I make this recipie. Thanks!!
-
yum, this was just the pie i was looking for. i love the smell of apple baking in the oven, but i don’t much care for lots of crust in pies, so this was perfect. i was a bit worried by how thick the topping was at first, but the end result was nice and delicious. used macintosh apples, their tartness was very tasty against the sweet topping. added more cinnamon and white sugar to the apples like some reviewers suggested and reduced sugar and margarine (1/2 cup brown sugar and 1/4 cup white and 1/2 cup margerine. sliced 3 medium sized apples. added a bit of vanilla, nutmeg, and lemon juice over the apples. can’t wait to try it tomorrow!
-
Excellent and Easy!!! After reading some of the reviews I made the following changes: 1/2c white and 1/2c brown sugar (unpacked), 1/2c butter, omitted nuts and added 1/4tsp corn starch and 1/4 tsp. lemon juice to apple mixture also used brown sugar instead of white in apple mixture. Watch the bake time…mine took only about 55 minutes. TASTY!!!!
-
This was good, as I don’t like making pie crusts. I made two, both with walnuts, real butter and less sugar(brown and white). I found the crust was a little too crispy & very brown. I did cook it for less time at 55 minutes. I took one to a friends & came back and the other one was gone!!
-
Definitely would not make again. Came out way too dry and cake like. I used an extra apple and it still wasn’t enough. Too much topping and not enough apples. It should be called Swedish Apple Cake.
-
Exceptionally good! My husband and I really enjoyed the mix of textures with the topping and the warm apples. I tried it as written and it came out wonderful, but it was quite brown after 55 minutes- so watch the baking time. Thanks for the great recipe!
-
I wasn’t sure how I would like this “pie” since the crust is my favorite part of a pie, but my whole family really enjoyed it. As other reviewers have mentioned, it is more cake-like in consistency, so it helps if you don’t think of it as a pie. In fact, I’m going to double the recipe for a 9×13 pan for a school function. As other reviewers have indicated, the baking time is too long. I baked it for less than an hour, and the top still came out too hard. I filled the pan with apples, so it was moist enough inside, but it did run over in the oven.
-
8/2/09 (just adding a few more comments after using this recipe for more than 2 years…) 1) this pie bakes faster than the time indicated (in our oven, it’s done in 30-40 mins). 2) we find that using a combo of sweet and tart apples gives a nice balance of taste (we usually use 2-3 galas and 1 granny smith per pie). 3) if using plastic wrap to cover after baking, leave a small opening (this ensures that the pie will retain that flaky/crisp top). 4) btw, for variety, one can try adding a bit of sour cream into the inside of the pie. we usually put just enough liquid to slightly coat the apple slices. 11/23/06 (original review) this pie is so yummy. i followed the suggestion of putting a bit of lemon juice in the crust. also i did half and half brown and white sugar. my family absolutely loves it!
-
This is a very good recipe. I used 3/4 cup of brown sugar and 1/4 cup of white b/c I like the richer taste of brown sugar when it comes to baking with apples. I also used walnuts rather than pecans b/c that is all I had but I do think pecans would be delicious in this.
-
not what i expected. way too sweet. i added extra apples like some of the comments said and it didn’t really help. will not make this again.
-
I’m a swede, and i liked this recipe. It’s similar to another apple pudding dish i make at christmas time. I decreased sugar to 3/4, butter to 1/2 as well. I also sprinkled the apples with cornstarch, vanilla and lemon zest as recommened by others. I ground up the nuts (i used walnuts). Next time i would add a handful of raisins to the apples and drizzle it with lemon juice for a little more zing. Mine baked in about 45 minutes and i think the crust topping was too much for a small pan. i would use less next time.
-
This is really quite different for pie, however, it looked so easy I wanted to try it. I really liked it, and when I brought it to Thanksgiving, my family did too. They all agreed that, while not exactly “pie”, it was very good and something different.
-
Even with extra apples, this was much too sweet. I wish I’d read some of the reviews about reducing the sugar. Other than the sweetness, this was just okay. Sorry, I don’t think I’ll be making this one again.
-
This was a very good recipe. I was looking for something to bring to my Danish mother-in-laws house that my Swedish mother would be proud of. This did need modifications: I sliced 5 apples (1/2 fuji, 1/2 granny smith). Only used the 2.5 cups the recipe called for but wish I had used all 5 apples. I used real butter, a pinch of cardamom, 1/2c brown sugar Splenda and 1/2c white sugar and the pecans. Also used 1/2 white and 1/2 wheat flour. Sprinkled 1/4 tsp lemon juice and cornstarch over the apple/cinammon/sugar mix. I believe I overbaked it because it ended up with a cookie/brownie consistency, but was still delish with vanilla ice cream. Next time I will use more apples, decrease the baking time and the amount of sugar and butter. The butter would probably be better if not fully melted. This recipe can be made in a deep dish pie plate or a spring-form pan. Looking forward to making this again & again with 5-star results.
-
This apple pie was delicious. I used all the substitutions ROSEGRABOWSKI suggested, replacing the 1 cup sugar with 1/2 a cup of white and 1/2 a cup of light brown, and adding some lemon zest and lemon juice to the apples underneath. I made it for Thanksgiving and all my family members raved about it. It was really easy to make (made even more so by a good apple-corer / slicer,) and I will be sure to make it every year from now on.
-
This recipe is brilliant! I added an extra cup of grated apple. I also added some lime juice to the apple mixture which made it a little tangy. I decreased the white sugar by just a bit. Switched the pecans for almonds.
-
I made two of these pies for the holiday. I like Swedish apple pies because they are easy and usually a little tart and have a cake consistency. This pie was good, but I was left feeling like is was a little bland. Others liked it, so I would still recommend it if this is the kind of pie you are looking for. Maybe it was just me.
-
Didn’t turn out well for me.
-
BEST APPLE PIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MY MOM’S FAVORITE!!! Served at midnight and was gone by ten AM!!! Will have to make again this week..THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fantastic how it has no crust..used some tips as well.
-
This recipe was really good. I used a total of 4 Granny Smith apples. I also used the suggestions of other reviewers and I added corn starch and more cinnamon to the sprinkle mixture. I also added some lemon zest and lemon juice to the top of the apples before I poured on the topping. I baked the pie for only 55 minutes and it turned out perfectly.
-
Went apple picking in New England and have been trying ALL kinds or recipes with the bushel of apples I picked right off the tree. So far… this is the simplest and most delicious pie.
I did use more than 2 and 1/2 cups of apples. I just could not help myself. Sliced thin and layered in the pie plate. Also sprinkled a tiny bit of corn starch over the apples before smearing that delicious topping over them and used real butter (sinful, I know- but so rich!) Although there is nothing like apple pie with traditional flaky crust, I don’t have the time (or the desire) to make one and I refuse to buy pre-made. This is a real winner! Served warm and topped with Frozen (fat free, sugar free) cool-whip and it just sunk right into the pie. Yum. Am baking one as I type this review. No wonder it won a blue ribbon! -
This is a recipe my mom has had for years. It’s the best apple pie. I always had almond extract as well.
-
This pie is awesome! I read the reviews and decided to add a little more spice–used about a tsp of pumpkin pie spice with the apples. Also used half and half white and brown sugar on the topping–it comes out nice and brown. Will make this again and again – it was a real hit.
-
Outstanding recipe! We’ve made this many times, and it’s a hit with my family – and extended family – every time. It also lends itself well to adaptation. I like to pre-cook the apples (with some cinnamon-sugar and a little water) to soften them. Last time I made this I essentially doubled the apples (but they cook down some), and then did about 1 1/2 times the topping. This then fit nicely into a standard 12×9 baking pan. My sister’s family loved my “apple crisp!”
-
This really is yummy and SO easy!
-
the recipe is simple enough but, it is way too sweet for me. I’ll try it again and use half the amount it calls for.
-
I did this recipe, step by step,
didnt change anything at all and it came out wonderful!!! It has great flavor,
color, body…its awesome!! The whole house smelled lovely!! My children love it, and we hate the whole thing in about two hours!!!! Thank you soooo much for sharing this with us. -
Wonderful, and easy. I usually have apples but no pie crusts. This I can make from everything I have in my kitchen now. I even made it for relatives and they asked for the recipe. Love it and Thank You for a great recipe.
-
The topping was bad. My family who loves apple pie asked me not to make this again.
-
I LOVE this recipe. It is so easy to make and so so good! I’ve been sharing this recipe with everyone I know. I nearly ate the whole pie the first time I made it is that good. I love the easy crust.
-
One of my favourites! I add a layer of raspberries on top of the apples before adding the topping. EXTRA yummy!
-
it was super easy to make and wonderful to eat. The only changes were the ones recommended by others: less than 1/2c margarine, 1/2c sugar, omit pecan. I’ve made it several times already cuz they were gone too fast!
-
This pie was amazing!
-
Delicious and so easy
-
I tried making it and it was AMAZING!!!! I have made it many more times(being easy helps) and is a new favorite.I have people with gluton problem in my family,so I tried making it with GF flower and it was very good to.I hope to make both versions for Thanksgining.
-
AMAZING does not do this pie justice! I made it for a pregnant friend and she has had cravings for it ever since (I make it for her every other week with the requirement we walk first due to the amount of butter in the recipe!) I have cut back on the butter to 1/2 a cup with makes the topping more of a pie crust. I also have reduced the sugar in the topping to 3/4 of a cup and use brown and white sugar on both the apples and in the topping. Lastly, since I cut the butter, I added cream to the apples and it makes a caramel sauce that is wonderful! After you have it once, get ready to make it time and again!
-
I make this all the time-but where are the raisens in this recipe???? they make the pie sooo much better!! just stick about 2/3 c in a bowl of water and microwave for 20 seconds to plump them up, then drain and add to the apple/spice mix. Sooo yummy!
-
Excellent pie! I made it exactly as written and it was fantastic!
-
This is the first time I made an apple pie and I loved it. I ended up eating most of it. Great recipe, delicious and easy to make. I’ll make this again.
-
This was really very good. It came out to be the PERFECT. apple crumb. I used half brown sugar and half white sugar as well as whole wheat flour instead of white flour. This is one I will definetly be making again. Next time however, I think it may need a half a teaspoon of cinnamon sprinkled on top before baking. 4 stars. Very good apple crumb.
-
Although I haven’t used this exact recipe it is almost exactly my Swedish Grandmother’s recipe. Although we always used walnuts and 1/2 cup butter/margarine baked for 45 minutes. It definitely doesn’t need a crust. It’s always moist and depending on your apples can be very sweet or a little tart. I like using Granny Smith for that little extra tart.
-
Excellent! I recommend using a lot more apples than the recipe calls for though, almost double. I used a deep dish pie pan and 6 Ginger Gold Apples and changed nothing else except the baking time. 55 min. worked well for me. Everyone LOVED it!
-
A bit too sweet, but a nice pie overall. I will try again with experimenting on sugar amount.
-
THIS PIE IS SOOOOOOO GOOOD! i make it all the time and everyone love love loves it :))
-
The only apple pie I now make!
-
a good friend gave me the recipe years ago and I never got around to making it. It’s a winner! Wanted something easy and this sure is. As several other cooks advised, I only softened(not melted)the margarine. Left out the nuts as hubby can’t eat. Will sure be making this again! Oh, the addition of part brown sugar made the crust nice and brown and cruncy! Yum!
-
I love this pie – I’ve made it for years and it’s so simple and easy. Great warmed with vanilla ice cream on top.
-
This is the easiest pie to make!!! I won a pie-off among my friends with this pie. My family loves it so much, I have to bring it to every holiday, no questions asked. Thank you for this recipe!!!
-
A friend introduced me to Swedish Apple Pie and I googled the recipe and found this one. It is incredibly simple and delish! I like to add a crust to the bottom of the pan prior to adding the apple mixture to make it more like a pie
-
Loved it, every time I make it, people ask me for the recipe.
-
This pie is out of the world. I love it because it is not to sweet. I added lots of apples. There were no leftovers. YUMMY
-
Every time I make this for a family event, everyone loves it and wants the recipe! I use a pie crust bottom. I love the chewy topping. I haven’t changed a thing!
