This apple pie has a cinnamon swirl crust. My son helped me make the majority of it.
Ingredients
FOR THE CRUST --
- 1
- Pillsbury™ Refrigerated Pie Crust
- 1
- tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
- 2
- teaspoons ground cinnamon
- Egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 teaspoon water)
FOR THE PIE --
- 7
- to 8 cups 7 peeled, cored and thinly sliced small Granny Smith apples
- 1
- stick unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1
- cup Gold Medal™ unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1
- cup light brown sugar
- Granulated sugar, for sprinkling
FOR THE ICING --
- 1/2
- cup powdered sugar
- 1/4
- teaspoon vanilla
- 1/4
- teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2
- teaspoons milk
Directions
- 1 Preheat oven to 400°F. Unroll pie crust on a lightly floured surface. Brush with butter and sprinkle evenly with cinnamon. Roll up tightly and slice into 1/2-inch rounds, like miniature cinnamon rolls.
- 2 Press miniature cinnamon rolls, flat side down, evenly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch glass pie plate, making sure there are no spaces between the rolls. Brush pie crust lightly with egg wash.
- 3 Place sliced apples in a mound on top of the crust. In a large bowl, combine butter, flour and brown sugar and form into crumbles using fingers or a pastry blender. Sprinkle crumble over apples.
- 4 Sprinkle granulated sugar evenly over crumble. Bake pie until the top and crust are a golden brown and the filling is bubbling, about 40-45 minutes (cover top/crust with foil if necessary to prevent it from getting too dark). Remove from oven and allow to cool completely on a cooling rack.
- 5 In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and milk to form icing (add more sugar or milk to reach desired consistency). Using a pastry bag or ziploc bag with one tip cut off, pipe on icing in a swirl on top of crumble on fully cooled pie.
