This easy Apple Pie recipe is a classic. It’s moist and soft, with gentle flavors of apple and honey. It doesn’t have a hard pie crust like a traditional apple pie, but rather a soft cake-like casing, jam-packed with pie apples in the middle. It’s a lovely take on an old favorite, and it’s really easy to bake.
This recipe makes two apple pies. They freeze perfectly for up to six months, and you’ll always have a dessert on hand for any impromptu get-together, now that’s smart!
