Caramel Apple Pie

Caramel brings out the sweetness of apples and makes it taste even BETTER. It goes perfectly with a cup of coffee and a giant scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Apple Pie Bars

When you need to make apple pie for a big group, these bars are absolutely perfect. With a no-fuss crust that you press (not roll), they're much easier. Plus, you can't beat that crumb topping.

McDonald's Apple Pie

Our take on McDonald's apple pie skips the deep fry and is baked instead for a better take on the restaurant favourite. We used puff pastry so you still get all of those flaky layers and buttery crust.

Apple Pie Filling

Homemade Apple Pie can be a little bit of a production. And though it's always worth it, sometimes, you just don't have the time. To prepare yourself for such moments, we recommend having a batch (or three) of this cinnamon apple pie filling on hand. Straight from the jar, it's incredible and tastes like the best apple pie ever. You could serve it warmed over vanilla ice cream and be extremely happy. BUT, it also makes life extremely easy when you want to make a pie.

There's nothing like a warm apple pie. Unfortunately, we don't always have time to make and chill pie dough. These cupcakes are the perfect solution!

This apple masterpiece may take more time than you're average pie. But it's worth it. Here, we used our perfect pie crust recipe, but if you want to skip this step, feel free to start with the store-bought dough.
