Apple pie is our favorite Fall dessert. I think this definitely comes from my childhood and love for apples. I remember my moms apple pie and she always made it with a crumb topping. I prefer the crumb topping over the crust. There is just something about a crumb topping.

I love how easy this pie is to make in a sheet pan. I took two pie crusts and rolled them together to make a rectangle crust. I did cut it and patched some areas. I do add some orange juice to the apples in the bowl. This helps them from turning brown. Make sure not to add the juice to the pie. That will make it too runny.

This isn’t a super thick pie, which is great for a lighter dessert after dinner. It pairs so well with vanilla ice cream. I know this dessert will be a huge hit for Thanksgiving.

You can make this pie ahead of time and freeze it if you want. Just warm it up in the oven the day you are serving it. Perfect recipe to make for a crowd or if you will have a lot of desserts.

Tips & Recommendations

I used a mixture of granny smith apples and honey crisp apples. Make sure to drain the juice from the apples before placing them on the pie crusts. Make sure the pie crusts doesn’t sit out for more than 15 minutes before rolling it out together .
