Homemade apple pie can be a little bit of a production. And though it's always worth it, sometimes, you just don't have the time. To prepare yourself for such moments, we recommend having a batch (or three) of this cinnamon apple pie filling on hand. Straight from the jar, it's incredible and tastes like the best apple pie ever. You could serve it warmed over vanilla ice cream and be extremely happy. BUT, it also makes life extremely easy when you want to make a pie.
To make an apple pie with a crumb topping (like a Dutch Apple Pie), pre-bake your homemade pie dough until golden. (Don't forget to prick it with a fork and use pie weights in the beginning!) Once you fill the crust with the filling, it should only need 20 or 30 minutes in the oven.
To make a double crust pie, your pie will take about 50 minutes to get nice and golden and crispy. But remember, you've already saved yourself from the hassel of washing and cutting a ton of apples!
