    Apple Pie with Graham Cracker Crust Recipe

    This pie recipe has three separate elements: pie crust, apple filling, and cinnamon crumble. 

    • Premade Graham Cracker Crust: Contrary to classic apple pie, this recipe utilizes buttery graham cracker crust instead of traditional pie crust.
    • Apple Pie Filling: This easy recipe uses store-bought apple filling, which saves time, effort, and dishes.
    • Buttery Crumb Topping: Cinnamon streusel topping replaces the classic pie crust top. 

    Ingredients

    The ingredients you need for this recipe.
    • Premade Graham Cracker Crust (store-bought or homemade)
    • Apple Pie Filling: This recipe utilizes premade, canned pie filling to save time and effort. Homemade apple pie filling can be used in substitution. 
    • All-Purpose Flour
    • Light Brown Sugar (packed): Brown sugar adds a sweet flavor to the crumble topping and helps it achieve a golden brown color. Swap light brown sugar for dark brown sugar if desired.
    • Ground Cinnamon: For additional spice, swap the ground cinnamon for apple pie spice. 
    • Salt
    • Unsalted Butter (room temperature): You need softened butter for the crumb mixture.

    See the recipe card for the ingredient quantities.

    Step-By-Step Instructions

    Make the crumble.

    Top the filling with the crumble topping.
    1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the storebought graham cracker crust on a sheet tray and bake it for 5 minutes. Allow the crust to cool slightly.
    2. Make the crumble topping: Combine flour, sugar, salt, and cinnamon in a medium mixing bowl. Cut in the softened butter until coarse crumbs form.
    3. Pour the apple pie filling into the prepared graham cracker crust. Evenly disperse the crumb topping over the filling.
    4. Bake the pie for 45-50 minutes, until the filling is set and the topping is golden brown. Cool the pie at room temperature on a wire rack. 

    Variations

    • Homemade Graham Cracker Crust: Pulse 11 graham cracker sheets in a food processor until graham cracker crumbs form. Combine crumbs with 2-3 tablespoons of sugar (granulated or brown) and 6 to 7 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter. Press the graham cracker mixture into a 9-inch pie pan and bake at 350 F for about 10 minutes, until set and lightly golden brown.

    Serving Suggestions

    Enjoy apple pie at room temperature, cold, or warm. Pair slices with whipped cream, Chantilly cream, or a la mode with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Drizzle pie with homemade salted caramel sauce for the ultimate treat.

    Suggested Equipment

    • Mixing Bowls
    • Large Whisk
    • Pastry Cutter
    • Baking Sheet

    Storage

    Wrap the pie tightly in aluminum foil or transfer the slices to an airtight container. Store the pie at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The pie will stay firmer when stored in the refrigerator. After the third day, the pie will start to soften.

    Expert Tips

    1. Bake the graham cracker crust for about 5 minutes before adding the apple filling. If there are any cracks in the crust, press them in while the crust is still hot. 
    2. Chill the pie before slicing it so the apple filling retains its structure.
