This deep dish apple pie recipe is easier than it looks! I love it with hard sauce or ice cream–or with both! Because why not?

In Pennsylvania, Apple Schnitz Pie is a common Amish church pie. Schnitz is slices of dried fruit. Apple Schnitz means sliced dried apples.

Did you know?

Apples aren’t native to North America. Apple pie originated in England circa 1390 and was influenced by Dutch, French, and Ottoman cuisine.

Old Fashioned English Apple Pie

I remember tasting my first English apple pie–I realized it was not what I expected. British style apple pie doesn’t add any cinnamon and spice.

German Apple Pie

I love this recipe SO much! It’s one of the easiest apple pies I’ve ever made.

Apple Streusel Pie

Sometimes I want a more elevated, indulgent pie with a little added decadence. I don’t recommend a store-bought pie shell–they’re typically less flavorful than homemade.

This crustless dessert is the perfect no-fuss apple pie for the beginner baker! I don’t even miss the crust.

Irish Apple Amber Pie

Unlike an American apple pie, traditional Irish Apple Amber Pie is an open-faced pie with more of an applesauce filling and topped with toasted meringue.

Apple Crumble Pie

Desserts with a crumble topping are my favorite. I could eat crunchy crumble by itself! A crumble topping complements apple pie dessert perfectly. I know you’ll LOVE what it adds to this recipe.

What is a difference between a pie, tart, cobbler, crumble, and crisp?

Pies and tarts have crusts (pies often have a top crust). Cobblers have a biscuit topping. Crumbles have a streusel topping. And crisps have a streusel topping with oats. All are baked and have a filling.

Apple Pie Cobbler, Crisp, Crumble, Betty, Buckle …

Apple cobblers, crisps, crumbles, betties, buckles–they’re all are variations of apple pie. They’re quicker and easier to make than pie–and just as delicious!

Apple Pie Betty

Apple Pie Betty is crustless. You can adjust the sweetness by adjusting the streusel.

Apple Pie Buckle

Apple Pie Buckle is an old-fashioned dessert recipe. Just add apple pie spices to this recipe to make it perfect for your Thanksgiving dinner. I always start by making the crumb topping first.

Tarts have a bottom crust that’s open at the top. Pies have a bottom and top crust.

Apple Pie Tart
