Caramel Apple Crumble Pie
Description
Caramel Apple Crumble Pie features a frozen pie crust filled with a mixture of canned spiced apple pie filling, oats, flour, sugars, and warm spices such as cinnamon, allspice, and cloves. The topping combines melted butter with dry ingredients and an egg to hold the crumble together as it bakes. The filling is poured directly into the crust and baked until the surface is golden and set, producing a textured topping contrasting with the soft apple filling beneath.
The spice blend adds complexity to the sweetness of the apples and sugars, complemented by optional caramel sauce drizzled before serving. The use of oats in the topping gives a hearty crunchiness, making the dessert more rustic in texture.
This pie can be served warm or cooled, and pairs well with ice cream or whipped topping for extra creaminess. It suits those looking to enjoy a spiced fruit dessert with a crispy, crumbly topping.
For best results, use a baking tray under the pie crust to catch any overflow during baking. The pie keeps well refrigerated, stored covered, for up to five days, and reheats gently if desired.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup butter melted, unsalted
- 1 egg large
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup light brown sugar loosely measured
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon allspice
- ¼ teaspoon cloves ground
- ¼ teaspoon salt optional and to taste
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup old-fashioned rolled oats not quick cook or instant, whole
- 21 ounces apple pie filling I used Comstock More Fruit Cinnamon 'n Spice Apple filling, canned
- 1 pie crust or make your own using your favorite recipe, 9-inch, frozen
- caramel sauce optional but recommended for drizzling, or caramel ice cream topping
- Ice cream optional, or whipped topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter, about 1 minute on high power.
- Allow the butter to cool momentarily so you don't scramble the egg; then add the egg, sugars, vanilla, cinnamon, allspice, cloves, salt, and whisk to combine until batter is smooth (All spices and salt should be added to taste and use what you have on hand; omitting what you don't have and mixing and matching with other spices such as ginger or pumpkin pie spice is okay).
- Add the flour, oats, and stir to incorporate. Fold in the apple pie filling.
- Pour filling mixture into frozen pie crust (I didn't bother pre-thawing it)and lightly smooth filling with a spatula. It's okay to fill pie crust up nearly to the brim; I did and it did not overflow. As insurance, place pie crust on a baking tray so if it does overflow a bit, it won't pool in the bottom of the oven.
- Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until top has just set and is not jiggly, and is golden. I baked mine for about 54 minutes and when I took it out of the oven, the filling had risen and was a bit domed and puffed, and as pie cooled, the dome sank and it flattened out.
- Allow pie to cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving. Prior to serving, optionally drizzle with caramel sauce or serve with ice cream.
Notes
- Optional caramel sauce can be store-bought or homemade; popular recipes include salted, dark rum, or vanilla caramel variations.
- Refrigerate leftover pie covered tightly to maintain freshness; it keeps up to five days.
- Placing the pie on a baking sheet during baking helps catch any filling overflow and keeps your oven clean.
