FAQs

One of the biggest mistakes in creating apple pie filling is using apples that break down too much while cooking. You want apples that hold their shape and offer a bit of bite, like Granny Smith, Fuji and Jazz. Overloading the filling can also cause leaks or soggy bread. Adding too much sugar or not enough spice can lead to a flat flavour. For this easy apple pie, pre-cooked apples spiced with cinnamon create a delicious, balanced filling that doesn’t overwhelm the bread.

Layering flavours is key to a tasty apple pie. Start with good-quality apples and add warm spices like cinnamon, nutmeg or allspice. A splash of vanilla extract or lemon juice brightens things up. For something richer, you can stir through a small knob of butter. In this recipe, the combination of spiced apples and a cinnamon sugar crust creates plenty of flavour with minimal effort. This easy recipe is something you’ll want to make every day!

To prevent sogginess in your pie, make sure your apples are pre-cooked so they don’t release excess moisture while cooking. Don’t overfill the bread, and use a hot jaffle maker to create a sealed, crisp crust. Our Hi-Fibre Lo-GI White Block Loaf gives just the right amount of crunch while soaking up the sweet, spiced filling without going soggy.
