Apple Pie (with Canned Apple Filling)

Equipment
- Pie Pan
- Oven
Ingredients
- 2 Pie Crusts uncooked
- 40 oz Canned Apple Pie Filling
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 1 Egg White for egg wash
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Unroll one store-bought pie crust and gently press it into a 9-inch pie plate. Use your fingers to press it firmly against the pie plate, especially along the edges of the pie crust, so it holds the filling well. 2 Pie Crusts
- Make the Apple Filling - In a large bowl, mix the 2 cans of apple pie filling, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir until the spices are evenly distributed through the apple filling. 40 oz Canned Apple Pie Filling 1 tsp Cinnamon 1 tsp Nutmeg
- Pour the apple mixture into the prepared bottom crust and spread it out evenly.
- Add the top crust. You can place it whole and cut a few slits on top of the pie, or you can do as I did and make a lattice crust.
- Brush the top of the pie with a light coating of egg white using a pastry brush. This will help it bake up golden brown and shiny. 1 Egg White
- Bake the pie for 45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes or until it reaches room temperature before slicing.
Notes
Storage:
Room Temperature & refrigerator
- Let the pie cool completely, then store it covered loosely with plastic wrap or foil at room temperature for up to 2 days.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days for longer freshness; reheat individual slices in the microwave or oven before serving.
Freezer
- Apple pie can freeze beautifully. Slice the pie and wrap each slice individually, then place in a freezer-safe bag or container.
- You can also freeze the whole pie by wrapping it tightly in plastic wrap, then foil
- Store in the freezer for up to 2 months.
How to reheat
- Reheat a slice in the oven at 350° F for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through to keep the crust flaky.
- Reheat the whole pie by covering loosely with foil and warming at 350° F for 20-125 minutes. Remove foil for the last few minutes to crisp up the crust.
- A microwave can be a quick option. You can warm a slice for 20-30 seconds. Keep in mind that the crust will be softer.
- Doctor up the canned filling with cinnamon and nutmeg — this is what makes it taste homemade instead of straight from the can
- Brush with egg white — for the best golden, glossy crust finish.
- Cut slits in the top crust or make a lattice — using a paring knife, so steam can escape and the filling doesn't push the crust up.
- Let the pie cool before slicing — so the filling has time to set and the flavors develop.
