Unbelievable Apple Pie created by A Good Thing

MORE

I've been making this wonderful pie for years. It's so easy and tasty. Everyone wonders what's in it. This pie can bake while you eat dinner and then, voila...hot apple pie for dessert. Yum! UPDATE: I've been asked if instant pudding mix is OK--yes! When the recipe was published there was no instant; tried the instant in it--works fine! LOL

ingredients

3 -4 cups Granny Smith apples (1/4-inch slices)
1 (3 1/2 ounce) package coconut cream pudding mix or (3 1/2 ounce) package French vanilla pudding mix
1 (9 inch) pie crusts, unbaked
Topping
¹⁄₄ cup butter, softened
¹⁄₂ cup flour
¹⁄₄ cup sugar
¹⁄₄ cup brown sugar
¹⁄₄ cup chopped pecans (optional)
1 teaspoon cinnamon

directions

In mixing bowl, combine apples and pie/pudding (DRY) mix; toss to coat well.
Place apple mixture in unbaked pie crust.
In small bowl, mix all topping ingredients until crumbly.
Sprinkle topping over apples.
Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 35 to 40 minutes until topping is golden brown and pie is bubbly.
(Try different pudding mixes and fruits--peaches are yum--for different flavors). I serve it with a scoop of butter pecan or rum raisin ice cream.

Super easy and very good. Made with apples, butterscotch (sugar-free) pudding mix. Made with no pie crust! like a very tasty apple crisp. Replaced the white sugar with Splenda but kept the brown sugar for flavor.

can you use sugar free pudding for the unbelievably apple pie recipe. Is it better to use the cook and serve pudding.

Used cook and serve Butterscotch for the Carmel flavor as many reviews wanted to try. My apples I sliced and froze in apple pie spices/sugar so they were already yummy but wanted to try adding the box of dry pudding mix to see what happened. Plus several reviews suggested adding cinnamon so I thought with all that sugar it has to be good! One friend who doesn't like pie even liked it. I will keep as a recipe to switch things up.

I am not a fan of apple pie and I am not a pie-maker. I'm a cake lady, but this pie makes me look like I know pies, too. My family and I have enjoyed it several times with ice cream on top, of course.
