Apple Pie in a Glass
Hello, dear reader! Today, I want to share with you a dessert that has become a personal favorite of mine - Apple Pie in a Glass. It's a delightful twist on the classic apple pie, capturing all its comforting flavors in a unique and visually appealing presentation.
Equipment
- oven
- 1 pie tin
- 1 heavy bottomed skillet
- glasses
Ingredients
- 1 Pie Crust unbaked, homemeade or store bought
- 2 Granny Smith or Empire Apples
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted Butter
- Cinnamon Sugar
- Granulated Sugar
- Whipped Cream or Ice Cream for garnish
- Wine or Martini Glasses for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
- If using homemade pie crust roll out as if you were going to place it in a pie tin but instead place it on a parchment lined baking sheet (if using store bought unroll and place on baking sheet), sprinkle generously with granulated sugar. Bake until light golden brown.
- Remove from oven and cool. Peel and thinly slice the apples as if for pie, toss with cinnamon sugar to taste. Melt the unsalted butter in a heavy bottomed skillet and add the apples. Sautee apples on medium heat until they are soft and cooked through but still retain their shape.
- Break the pie crust into pieces, reserving a few nice big pieces for garnish. Place a layer of pie crust in the bottom of your glasses followed by a layer of apples and repeat ending with apples. Take the large pieces of crust that were saved for garnish and position them sticking out of the top layer of apples, add a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.

Notes
When making Apple Pie in a Glass, it's essential to choose the right variety of apples. Opt for firm apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp, as they hold their shape well during cooking. To achieve the ideal balance of sweetness, toss the sliced apples with a blend of brown sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of nutmeg. This creates a luscious filling that will have you swooning with every spoonful.
