Applesauce Pie Recipe ???????????????? | No Peel Apple Pie | Easiest Apple Pie Recipe EVER!!????????????
This applesauce pie recipe is one of the most delicious and easiest apple pie recipes ever! This no peel apple pie combines homemade applesauce, sugar, spices, eggs, and butter to make an amazing custard filling with a flavor reminiscent of old fashioned apple butter. The texture is soft and creamy, the occasional small bit of apple reminding the palate that this is a fruit pie. Although you could probably use storebought apple sauce, making your own homemade applesauce is easy, especially if you use the microwave like I did. This pie was one of the best desserts I have ever eaten, so you should definitely give it a try.
This applesauce pie recipe starts by making my own homemade applesauce. I cut around the cores of some golden delicious apples and then cut the larger chunks in half, leaving the peel on. After a sprinkling of fresh lemon juice, I put the apples in a microwave-safe bowl, covered them with plastic, and microwaved them for 3 increments of 5 minutes, stirring after each increment. Once the apples were totally softened, I used a hand held immersion blender to puree the flesh and skins.
The resulting applesauce is very thick, thickener than storebought applesauce, and it is incredibly delicious. I didn't add any sugar, so it was healthy, too. I could have just eaten the applesauce on its own, but I had to save some for the pie.
The next step in the applesauce pie recipe is making the custard filling. Once the homemade applesauce had cooled down, I mixed it with light brown sugar, white sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and lemon juice for flavor, along with butter and eggs to make the custard. I wasn't quite sure how much sugar to add, so I started off conservatively and used 1/3 cup of both brown and white sugar. However, after tasting the filling, I decided to add a bit more for a total of 1/2 cup of both brown and white.
This was the easiest apple pie recipe ever since there was no top crust to put on the pie. After pouring the custard filling into an unbaked pie shell, I simply put it in the oven and baked. One of the most nerve-wracking parts of making an apple pie is making sure that the top crust is situated perfectly on top of the pie, so removing that step makes this the easiest apple pie recipe ever.
When I took this applesauce pie out of the oven, the appearance definitely reminded me of pumpkin pie, but the aroma of sweet apples and spices made it clear that it wasn't. The pie looked magazine-picture perfect, so I couldn't wait to try it.
When I took my first bite, I knew immediately that this applesauce pie recipe was one of the best desserts I had ever made. The flavor was very similar to apple butter in that the flavor was very intense, concentrated, sweet, and spiced, with perhaps a bit more citrus and a slight butteriness. If you like apple butter, which most people do, then you will absolutely love this pie.
I also liked the texture. Like other custard pies, the filling was soft and creamy, and since I used homemade microwave applesauce, the occasional small bits of fruit made it clear that this was an apple pie.
My only critique is that this applesauce pie was a bit sweet, the natural sugars becoming more concentrated in the oven than I had anticipated. When (not if) I make this pie again, I won't change anything, but some people might want to add a bit less sugar.
Honestly, this southern applesauce pie recipe was fantastic. It was delicious and easy to make, so this no peel apple pie would be perfect for beginner cooks. It would be perfect for Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, Sunday dinner, or just because. A lot of people like to put ice cream on apple pie, but this pie didn't need anything at all. If you are looking for a unique yet still old fashioned apple pie recipe, be sure to make this one. ????????????????????????????
