Dried Apple Pie

"Another easy to make recipe (my favorite kind). I love good recipe, but I like them to be easy. Prep time includes standing time for apples and juice. All else can be mixed while waiting on the apples to stand in the juice."

  1. I wish there were more then 5 stars for how good this was! We got a bag of dried granny smith apples for Christmas and I found this recipe to use them. I also defrosted a box of 2 pie crusts I had bought at Christmas time. This was thick and "fudgy" (though not chocolatey fudgy is the only word I could come up with to describe the texture) and had a wonderful flavor. It was high in WW points (9 for 1/8th of the pie when using store bought crust) but worth every bit of those points. This deserves 10 stars. Thanks!
     
  2. I am terrible at making pies but this came out WONDERFUL! I've done it twice, once with white sugar in the mix and once with brown sugar. Both pies had crumble toppings. The brown tasted better. (or so said my guests) Great taste and easy to make.
     
  3. Great idea for using dried apples! I made the pie today, using one crust and a crumble top and it is very good. I like the spices and although I nearly burned it that was the oven, not the recipe. I will have to bake it at 375 next time. I will probably put in dried cranberries with it next time.

  4. This was soooo good. Was surprised how tasty this turned out. My DH just loved it. We dry our own apples so I will be making this often. Thanks for posting this wonderful recipe.
     
  5. Sooo good! I made this for Thanksgiving and everyone said it was the best apple pie ever. I was going to add dried cranberries, but forgot, also soaked the apples for longer because I was busy, and that was just fine. May be the cider that gives it a dark, rich consistency but whatever it is, it's heavenly- plus, it fills the house with a wonderful smell as you cook the apples/cider. I recommend a light buttery crust.

I would like to let you all know that I am no longer able to review your recipes that I have tried. since they changed the site around webtv does not supprt zaars new site.I have a webtv not a computer and webtv does not support the new recipezaar site. so I will no longer be able to review your great recipes,nor will I be able to put my own recipes on here.Please don't think I wouldn't like to review your recipes,it was one of the nice parts of zaar that I did enjoy doing. So please forgive!!! I am Married to the same guy for 40 years,I Have 2 beautiful Daughters, who have given me 6 grand and glorious grandchildren. I love to cook,in fact you could call it my favorite hobby My pet peeve is telemarketers,Every time I get busy with my recipe hobby one of them will call and knock me off the web,and of coarse I waste precious time getting back on.I am disabled,so I no longer work,and have plenty of time to pursue my hobby. My best dish I make is Lasagna but thats just because I love lasagna.I am also asked to bring No-Bake cookies at all of our potlucks, and linger-longers at church.Meat loaf is another often requested dish I am asked to bring...... NOT MY meatloaf but .... My husbands. He is as good a cook as I am,He can cook anything I can cook, and I can cook anything he can cook,but some things I make better,and some He makes better...So we do a lot of compromising at our house.
