Ugh, finally! I hate apple pie! I’ve never liked it. The gross stale crust and chunks of half-cooked apples with gooey…something strewn about. NOT a fan! So why is there finally an apple pie recipe in front of you right now? Because I made it exactly how an apple pie SHOULD be made so it’s actually delicious! Remember this Crustless Pumpkin Pie? A yearly family favorite during the season. So I took that method and made it apple pie instead!

This is basically like “pie-shaped” held-together baked applesauce! Trust me though, it’s delicious! If you like apples and you like applesauce, then my gluten-free friends, this dessert is for you! Not icky crust, no chunks of semi-cooked apples (the biggest travesty ever done to apples). If apples are going to be cooked, they must be in the form of applesauce, nothing else!

I’ve always wanted to be able to enjoy a slice of apple pie during the holidays, but pumpkin was the only one that was bearable growing up. I love apples so much (one of those favorite foods), but o, not pie! Pies are just not very appealing to me. There are so many better desserts out there; heck, if you want pie, just make it in the form of bread! Now, there were a few select pies I enjoyed growing up. My local grocery store’s in-store bakery’s pumpkin pie and that perfect Costco pumpkin pie in the big white plastic container. Those I could handle and enjoyed during the holidays.

I still never ate the crust though. I would just eat the pumpkin filling…with whipped cream. Does anyone really like pie crust? When you’re about to dive into a slice of pie, does anyone really say, “Yay, crust!” I find that hard to believe, it’s ALL about the filling. Every time, every pie. Except for these…these are the exception. You know, I have some ideas swirling around in my mind for more “pie” recipes. Maybe I just need to give the genre a chance. Making them more attune to “my style” may fix the pie “dislike” problem.

In the meantime, my crustless pies are just fine! All gluten-free, vegan, allergy-free, smooth and silky, no crusty old crust. Pair it with some of my marshmallow fluff (as faux-whipped cream) or some vegan vanilla ice cream if that’s your style. I also topped this little slice of apple “pie” with a drizzle of date syrup for some seasonal color and an extra pop of sweet! All in all, this crustless apple pie is so out there that anyone (#teamnopie) will love. Fall, winter, seasonal, Thanksgiving, Christmas dessert…yes, please! I will gladly accept a BIG slice!

This has NONE of the holiday calories, sugar, and fats either! Might as well just eat the entire thing yourself 😉 (I won’t tell!) Also, while this is baking in the oven…do not be alarmed! It will blow up to a huge bubble and that is totally normal and supposed to happen. When you remove it, the bubble will deflate and you’ll have this funny little “pie” to chill and then devour! Now it’s just up to you…Crustless Pumpkin Pie or Crustless Apple Pie? Me? I’ll take both!

So tell me:

+ Do you like apple pie? Do you like pie crust?

+ Pumpkin vs. apple?

    Oh my goodness….you must have eaten some versions by terrible awful cooks. My apple pies and crusts are delectable! This sounds nice for days when I prefer less starchy foods though.

    My goodness me, now there’s a thought; totally crustless apple pie! Bizarre, but as a pastry lover you’ve got me intrigued…only one thing for it! I’ll have to make this myself…I’ll let you know the verdict! x

    I’m not a fan of store bought apple pie, but homemade crust is the bomb, and apples should be cooked before being baked in a pie so they’re not half baked. Having said that, I love the creative version of this pie. It sounds wonderful.

    I love apple pie Rebecca!

    So sorry your experience of apple pie has been stale crust and chunks of half cooked apples. But, at least you’ve now made your very own version that your happy with. Each to their own I say! 🙂

    Actually, I have always though a well-made crust was the perfect complement to the apple and pumpkin pies my mom used to make. But her crust recipe, which I also used when I made pies, was much better than too many I’ve eaten which tasted more like cardboard. I just leave those and eat the fillings.

    Now we are trying to avoid gluten, so this may be a better choice for us now.
