To make the Speedy Struesel Apple Pie, you will need a package of our Pie Crust Mix, 5-6 medium-sized apples, 1/3 cup of granulated sugar, 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 tsp of ground cinnamon, 1/4 tsp of ground nutmeg, and 1/4 cup of melted butter. First, preheat your oven to 375°F. Then, prepare the pie crust according to the instructions on the package and press it into a 9-inch pie dish. Peel and slice the apples and mix them with the sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Pour the apple mixture into the crust and drizzle the melted butter on top. Finally, sprinkle the streusel topping from the package over the apples and bake for 35-40 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
While the Speedy Struesel Apple Pie is specifically designed for apples, you can certainly experiment with using other fruits such as peaches, pears, or berries. Just make sure to adjust the amount of sugar and spices accordingly to complement the flavor of the fruit you choose.
The Speedy Struesel Apple Pie is not gluten-free as the pie crust mix contains wheat flour. However, you can try using a gluten-free pie crust mix or making your own gluten-free crust from scratch and using our streusel topping on top of the filling instead.
The Speedy Struesel Apple Pie recipe makes 8 servings. However, you can easily double the recipe to make a larger pie or adjust the serving size if you prefer larger or smaller slices of pie.
Yes, you can freeze the Speedy Struesel Apple Pie before or after baking. If freezing before baking, wrap the unbaked pie tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil and store it in the freezer for up to 3 months. When ready to bake, let the pie thaw in the fridge overnight before baking as directed. If freezing after baking, let the pie cool completely and wrap it tightly before storing it in the freezer for up to 3 months. When ready to serve, let the pie thaw in the fridge overnight and reheat in the oven at 350°F for 15-20 minutes until warmed through.
