I was looking for a use for my abundance of homemade applesauce and really liked this recipe. However, it didn't quite fill up a 9-inch pie crush. I think I would do 1 1/2 times the recipe next time. I also added a sprinkle of cinnamon to the filling. It tastes like an apple pie custard - very yummy!

Having never heard of applesauce pie, I just had to give this a try. Really wasn't expecting much but am absolutely delighted with it. The applesauce I used was homemade and a bit tart, so I did use the fully amount of sugar called for. However, if I were to use commercial unsweetened applesauce, I would certainly cut back on the sugar. For the crust I used Easy As Pie No Roll Pie Crust and am thrilled with the way this pie turned out. It's delicious!!!!

I forgot to review this earlier in the week but here are my notes: This was very quick to prepare and I am happy to have discovered this recipe! Last weekend I used up old pears and apples and made sauce. It worked perfectly in this recipe. Dumped everything in the food processor, blended, poured, baked. A sprinkle of freshly grated nutmeg was added to the top of the pie before baking. This is the crust recipe I use all the time: Perfect Pie Crust for Double Crust Pie. The pie recipe was also cut in half and baked in a 7" mini pie pan. Reviewed for Best of 2010.
