Apple desserts are an all-time favorite over here. My kids love anything with apples in it and I’m always looking out for apple dessert recipes to try. Given the copious amounts of pie we consumed over Thanksgiving at various dinner parties I was looking for a crust less pie dessert for the holidays and stumbled upon Swedish Apple Pie that sounded just about right. I had some tart apples lying around (always have them on hand!) and decided to put them to use. Given the stress of planning out holiday parties, this easy dessert is a sure shot winner in my books and great for a crowd.
Of all the recipes I saw online I shortlisted this and this and adapted them to make my own version of a Swedish apple pie. Not sure if the Swedes would call this their original apple pie but I do know that it tastes phenomenal and was a huge hit with my kids. Classic apple-cinnamon combo is what works its magic here as the flavors are spot-on.Warm baked apple desserts topped with ice cream are my weakness in these colder months!I know for sure that I’ll be making this over and over again.
Swedish Apple pie is somewhere in-between a pie and apple crisp. Instead of layering the apples and flour mixture I just mixed the apples into the batter and that resulted in a flaky crumbly texture resembling a crisp.If you want it to look more like a pie crust I suggest you layer the apples first and top it with the batter. I used my cast iron pan to bake it and it baked perfectly.I topped mine with some vanilla ice cream and its disappearing fast!An unique twist to a traditional apple pie this crowd pleasing dessert is ideal for the holidays!Enjoy and wishing you a joyous holiday season!

Lovely idea for this Christmas Soni! I reckon it will look and taste just as good if I use margarine instead of butter, for a dairy-free alternative
