I was very happy to discover just how easy it is to use dehydrated apples in apple pies. In fact, not only are they easy…they are DELICIOUS! I can honestly say I will NEVER go back to peeling, coring, and slicing apples EVER AGAIN for a delicious apple pie. Making an apple pie from dehydrated apples saves time (takes only 5 minutes to get the apples ready and most of that time is just the apples sitting in boiling water), makes a smaller mess, and is just as delicious. HOORAY!! Once again food storage makes life easier (and just as delicious)! So give it a try at your Thanksgiving Feast…no one will know you did anything different.
DUTCH APPLE PIE
One pre-made pie crust (you can make your own or I like those pilsbury ones that aren’t in a pie crust)
Filling:
2 cups dried apples firmly packed 2 cups boiling water.
Pour over apples and let set for at least 5 minutes.
Mix together:
1/3 cup sugar 2 tbsp. Flour
½ tsp. Cinnamon
Add to the apple mix and continue cooking until thick. Stir constantly to prevent scorching. Pour mixture into pie shell and dot with 1 tbsp. Butter
Topping:
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
½ cup whole wheat flour
¼ cup butter
Cut in till crumbly. Sprinkle over the apple mixture and place in 350ºF oven for 55 minutes.

That’s a really cool idea! Do you dry your own apples, or do you purchase them somewhere?

Stephanie,
I don’t dry my own apples. I purchase them at the LDS cannery. They are cheap and the BEST I’ve ever eaten! Not to mention a good brand name (Tree Top). Give them a try, you’ll love them!

Crystal – do you think dehydrated peaches would work in this recipe?
YES!
YES!
so excited to try this recipe. everything is in my food storage. YEAH!! love your website.
I purchased 2 boxes of apples from the cannery in Lindon a couple years ago. I have found they have a very chemical smell and after taste. I called and they said to let them air out for a bit when I open the can. This gets rid of the smell but not the aftertaste. I have been very disappointed since they were 50 bucks a box. I have heard others talk about loving them and so think its a fluke. But what an expensive fluke, and no refund. I’m afraid to try again
