This Apple Pie recipe has been one of our family favorites for years. And it’s usually always part of our holiday celebrations. In fact, Thanksgiving or Christmas just wouldn’t seem right without this recipe!
It’s not too hard to make and it always gets rave reviews. If you want to dress it up even more, add a scoop of ice cream (we love Breyers) plus some caramel sauce. It’s ooey-gooey, the perfect combination of sweet and crunchy, and oh-so-delicious!
We’d never tried the Breyers caramel sauce before, so when they asked me if I’d be interested in making an apple pie and they’d send us a gift card to buy the ingredients plus some Breyers ice cream and caramel sauce to top it with, my family happily signed up for that taste test opportunity. 🙂
We thought it was delicious… really sweet, but really good.
Breyers Apple Pie A La Mode
1 pie crust (uncooked)
6 cups thinly sliced, peeled cooking apples (about 2 1/2 pounds — or 8-10 apples)

In a large bowl, stir together sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Add in apples and gently toss until coated. Transfer apple mixture to the pie crust. Dot apples with butter. Set aside.

Hi Crystal, I wanted to tell you that I made this recipe this weekend. I am gluten intolerant so I used gluten free multipurpose flour and a gluten free pie crust I found at my grocery store. It was a huge hit! I didn’t have any ice cream so I just topped the pie with some homemade whipped cream and it was perfect.
I am so happy to finally have an easy GF apple pie recipe, that actually tastes good, and plan to bring this to my sister’s house for our Christmas Eve celebration. Thanks so much for the recipe!
Crystal Paine says
Yay! I’m so, so glad to hear this!
Amy says
I am so curious…..why did you take the pictures outdoors? Just wondering. The pie looks delicious!
Crystal Paine says
The lighting is so much better outside so that’s why I usually opt for outside pictures if I want the pictures to look crisp and clear. I’m still trying to find a good place/time in our house here in TN that I can take pictures and they’ll consistently turn out crisp and clear.
Goldie says
Maybe taking them on a table outside but food on the ground doesn’t appeal to me. Just sayin’
Guest says
Dutch apple pie (with the crumb topping instead of another crust) is my favorite! I love how the topping mixes in with the ice cream…I’m salivating now. 🙂

Unfortunately I don’t Twitter. 🙁
We almost always buy Breyers, but only the ones that are all natural. We have had some of the candy bar flavors in the past. They were certainly yummy but we try not to eat too many artificial flavors and colors and things that don’t sound like food!

One word – Yum!
Julie says
This pie looks delicious! Breyers is my favorite kind of ice cream, although I buy what’s on sale these days. I haven’t tried that caramel sauce, but it looks delicious on the pie – will plan to try your recipe – love that it is a crumb topping.
