We all know most everything tastes better when it’s deep fried, and apple pie is no exception. And oh my goodness, are these Southern traditions tasty! We’re talking a crunchy outside with a soft, gooey, cinnamon-filled, warm inside. Swoon! Bring these to your new neighbor, they will love you forever.
The most important part of picking an apple for baking is to make sure it’s a firm apple. Go-to favorites are Piñata® or Honeycrisp apples because they both stay crisp and sweet even after baking.
Pro tips
- Your filling should be the consistency of chunky apple sauce, this will allow it to stay within the pie.
- A medium apple equals about one cup chopped.
- Try topping your pies with powdered sugar or granulated sugar, or whip together some vanilla, milk and powdered sugar for glaze!
