Apple Pie with Pudding
A delicious apple pie that layers sweet cooked apples with a creamy pudding layer in a buttery pie crust for extra texture and richness.
Equipment
- Pie Dish (9″)
- Mixing bowls
- Saucepan
Ingrédients
Pie Crust
- 2 pie crusts (9″), store-bought or homemade one for bottom, one for top
Apple Filling
- 6 apples, peeled and sliced Granny Smith or similar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
Pudding Layer
- 3.25 oz vanilla or chocolate instant pudding mix (dry)
- 1 cup milk for pudding
Optional Streusel
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour for topping
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tbsp butter, cold and diced for streusel
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Place one pie crust in a 9″ pie dish and set aside.
- In a bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice, sugar, and cinnamon until evenly coated.
- Prepare the pudding according to package instructions using the milk, then let it cool slightly.
- Spread the apple mixture evenly over the bottom pie crust, then pour or spread the pudding layer over the apples.
- Optionally, mix flour, brown sugar, and cold diced butter with your fingers to make a streusel topping and sprinkle over the pudding layer.
- Cover with the second pie crust and crimp the edges to seal. Cut a few slits in the top crust for steam to escape.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 45–50 minutes, until the crust is golden and the filling is set. Let cool before serving.
Notes
This apple pie variation adds a creamy pudding layer between the apples for extra texture and richness — a comforting twist on classic apple pie. Pudding mix helps thicken and sweeten the filling. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
