Homemade pie filling and an oatmeal crumb topping make this Apple Crisp Pie the perfect fall dessert. Add this easy apple pie recipe to your Thanksgiving day plans.
One of my baking pet peeve is that pie seems to get the shaft most of the year. Everyone breaks out their pie plates in the fall to make a Traditional Pumpkin Pie, then the plate just sits there the rest of the year.
I get it because I'm guilty of the same thing. Pie just isn't one of those desserts that I make very often other times of the year. That needs to change for sure!
A few years ago I came up with a recipe for Homemade Apple Pie Filling and then made this Cheesecake Apple Pie. That apple pie quickly became one of our favorite fall desserts.
It was so popular that we included it in our cookbook Cheesecake Love too.
My husband absolutely loves anything apple, so he gets excited when I start making apple desserts.
I decided to make another apple pie this year, but with a slight twist. Instead of adding a layer of cheesecake on the bottom, I added a double batch of oatmeal crumble to the top.
Warm apple pie filling, a crispy topping, and melty vanilla ice cream...you see where this is going, right? This pie has all the components of a quick apple crisp or a dutch apple pie.
We had good intentions of sharing this apple crumble pie with friends. But it got forgotten because we were chatting outside around the campfire. Whoopsy! Hosting fail right there.
I probably should have set the pie out with the rest of the food, instead of thinking I would do it later.
Do yourself a favor and make this easy apple pie for your Thanksgiving dessert table this year. It will not last long. I know because we devoured this one in no time at all!
How to make this Apple Crisp Pie:
- Make the homemade apple pie filling the night before. It needs time to chill and thicken before putting it in the pie crust.
- Let the store bought pie crust sit on the counter for about 15 minutes before trying to unroll it. I usually get impatient and try to do it too early. No biggie though. Just press the tears together, if needed. You can also make a homemade crust if you prefer that instead.
- Mix together the flour, sugar, oats, spices, and butter until it is crumbly.
- Don't scrimp on the oatmeal topping. You may think it is too much, but trust me and use all of it for the pie.
- Cover your crust with a pie shield, if you are worried your edges will get too dark while it is baking.
- Serve the apple pie warm with lots of ice cream and caramel topping. You can also serve it with Homemade Whipped Cream, if you prefer that instead.

This is so amazing, thanks for sharing.

How did anyone get this to turn out ? I followed the recipe exactly, let it sit on my counter for two hours, and then in the fridge overnight for 12 hours.
When I took it out of the oven and let it cool a bit, it's a liquidy sloppy mess. There is no possible way that the apple pie in the picture used the recipe for filling.
I don't know if there's a typo in the amount of water or cornstarch to use, but this recipe is not correct and very frustrated with wasted ingredients and time.
Jocelyn
I am so sorry that this recipe did not work for you. The recipe for the pie filling is correct as written. Was your pie filling thick when you took it out of the fridge the next morning? I'm happy to help you trouble shoot and see what happened.

How do you make the filling for the apple pie, apple and what
Jocelyn
Here is the link to the apple pie filling that I used in the post and it's linked in the recipe card. https://insidebrucrewlife.com/homemade-apple-pie-filling/. I hope you enjoy it!
Bre
Can I make this ahead of time in the morning and leave out? Any advice for reheating? I don’t have a double oven and my turkey will be cooking for 5 hours before our dinner.
Jocelyn
Yes, you can definitely make this ahead of time. If you are doing it that morning, it would be fine to stay out on the counter until you want to serve it. I honestly wouldn't reheat it, but you totally can. Cover it with foil and place in a 350 degree F oven for about 10-15 minutes or until warm. I hope you enjoy the pie and have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Pat Williams
I made the pie, great taste, but the homemade pie filling is very runny. Made it as recipe calls for but just didn’t thicken up. Any suggestions?
Jocelyn
Did you let the pie filling cool completely in the fridge? I usually make the pie filling the day before adding it to anything else.

Where is the recipe for the apple filling
Jocelyn
In the recipe for the pie, it says 4 cups homemade apple pie filling. If you click that link, it will take you to the recipe for the filling. Here it is as well, https://insidebrucrewlife.com/homemade-apple-pie-filling/ . I hope you enjoy the pie! It's one of our favorites!
Bianca
I don’t have the anise and I’ve already have everything ready to put into the pie, is there anyway i can do without it?
Jocelyn
Yes, you can totally leave it out. If you want to add a little bit more cinnamon instead that is perfectly fine too. I just love the way anise pairs with apple desserts!!! I hope you enjoy the pie!!!
Kathy
I so agree 110% about people walking in front of cars...i do not get it! It's my pet peeve.
Kim
I only have old fashioned oats and not quick oats. Do you think this will be ok or will it be too “chewy”? Made this pie last year and it’s now a staple!
Jocelyn
You could totally use the old fashioned oats in place of the quick oats and it would be fine. You can also put the old fashioned oats in a blender or food processor and give them a quick whirl to make them more like quick oats. Just don't pulse too long or you will have oat flour 🙂 I'm so glad this is a family favorite for you too. I have one in the oven right now too! Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Mindy
Do you use a specific kind of apples for the filling?
Jocelyn
I usually use bags of peeled Crunch Pak apples when I make the filling. They are Gala apples, if you are buying regular apples.
Eloise
In the video it shows part of the mixture being cooked on top of the stove but there is no mention of it in the directions. Could you please clarify this for me? Thankyou
Jocelyn
That part of the video is just a clip of the homemade pie filling being made. In the recipe for the pie, it has a link to the homemade pie filling recipe.
