Swedish Apple Pie

When it comes to pie, this recipe is hands down my favorite. Not only is it super delicious but also crazy easy to make. It is the pie I always remember my mom making in the fall. We were never a pumpkin pie household, always apple. And I am not a big baker, it’s too scientific and specific (I prefer to throw things together and taste along the way) but every year around this time I have to make this pie.

I like to slice the apples really thin. That's definitely a preference thing, and you can leave them thicker, but I think it helps them to cook up into a jammier filling. And the apples are topped with a sugar cookie type crust coated in cinnamon sugar, rather than a standard pastry pie crust. I think that may be part of the reason I love it so much.

So even if you’re not into baking either, you should give this recipe a try. And when it is baking, it will fill your house with the most amazing smell and the end result is the perfect fall treat. I always serve it up with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream.
