Apple Pie Inside an Apple
- Prep Time 30 min
- Total 60 min
- Servings 6
- Ingredients 5
Ingredients
- 6 Braeburn apples
- Juice of 1/2 a lemon (1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons)
- 1 1/2 cups canned apple pie filling
- 1 crust from 1 box (14.1 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Pie Crusts (2 Count), softened as directed on box
- 1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
-
Step1Heat oven to 375°F. Line baking pan with sides with silicone baking mat.
-
Step2Cut tops off apples. Using spoon, hollow out apples, leaving approximately 1/2-inch shell. Squeeze lemon juice into each apple as it’s hollowed out to prevent discoloration.
-
Step3Place apples on baking pan. Spoon 1/4 cup apple pie filling into each apple.
-
Step4Unroll pie crust on work surface. Using decorative cookie cutter (we used 4x2-inch heart-shaped cookie cutter), cut 6 shapes out of crust. Cut a small opening in each to allow for venting.
-
Step5Place cutouts on apples. Using a pastry brush, brush each with egg wash.
-
Step6Bake about 30 minutes or until crust is golden and apples are tender. Cool about 15 minutes.
