This Crustless Apple Pie is a simple, comforting dessert that captures the warm flavors of cinnamon-spiced apples blended into a soft, cake-like batter. With no crust to prepare, it offers an easy and quicker alternative to traditional apple pie, delivering all the cozy autumnal goodness in a single dish.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Apples

  • 3 cups thinly sliced, peeled apples
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Batter

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Apples: In a mixing bowl, combine the thinly sliced and peeled apples with 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and 1 to 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon. Toss these ingredients until the apples are evenly coated. The lemon juice will prevent browning and add a fresh tang while cinnamon adds warmth.
  2. Make the Batter: In a separate bowl, mix 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1 cup of all-purpose flour, and 1 to 2 teaspoons of cinnamon until well combined. This will create a sweet and spiced base for the apple pie filling.
  3. Combine and Mix: Carefully fold the prepared apples into the batter mixture, ensuring the apples are evenly dispersed throughout the batter. The mixture should be thick but well combined to allow the apples to bake inside the crustless pie.
  4. Bake the Pie: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour the combined apple and batter mixture into a greased baking dish or pie plate. Smooth out the top with a spatula to even it out. Bake in the preheated oven for about 45-55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  5. Cool and Serve: Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving. This helps the pie to set and makes it easier to slice. Enjoy it warm or at room temperature, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.

Notes

  • You can adjust the cinnamon to your taste, adding more or less depending on how spicy you like your apple pie flavor.
  • Using tart apple varieties like Granny Smith or Braeburn will balance the sweetness with a bit of tang.
  • If the batter seems too thick, you can add a splash of milk to loosen it slightly.
  • This crustless apple pie stores well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat gently before serving.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free baking blend.
