Swedish Apple Pie or Äppelpaj is a packed with cinnamon apples and baked without a crust. Topped with a cookie like topping and served warm.

Swedish Apple Pie or Äppelpaj is an American-Swedish twist on Smulpaj. Smulpaj is a Swedish dessert using fruit and baked without a crust.

Baking a pie without a crust might seem a little strange, but this pie is so delicious you will be sold after the first bite.

The apples bake in cinnamon and sugar and the top is almost cookie like- sweetened and spiced with sugar.

My Mom's family is Swedish and we actually grew up eating a Dutch apple pie recipe from my Dad's side of the family. That recipe is still one of my all-time favorites, but this is a really delicious variation on a loved recipe.

Ingredients

Apple Filling:

  • granny smith apples
  • sugar
  • ground cinnamon

Crust:

  • butter
  • all-purpose flour
  • sugar
  • ground cinnamon
  • egg

What Makes The Crust Unique?

The crust of my Swedish Apple Pie is similar to a cookie. The crust starts crisp on top and on the edges, but the portion close to the cooked apples is soft like the center of a cookie.

Instructions

  1. Pre-heat oven to 325°F. Grease a 9-inch pie plate with butter or cooking spray and set aside.
  2. Peel apples and slice into thin pieces. Place in a bowl and toss with cinnamon and sugar. Layer apples evenly into the pie plate.
  3. For the crust, mix melted butter, sugar and flour. Add the egg and mix.
  4. Evenly spread the batter over the top of the apples.
  5. Bake in the oven for 1 hour.
  6. Remove and allow pie to cool 20 minutes before serving.
