Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar, loosely packed
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon allspice
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (optional, to taste)
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup whole rolled oats (not quick-cook or instant)
- 21 oz canned apple pie filling
- 1 9-inch frozen pie crust
- Caramel sauce or caramel ice cream topping (optional, for drizzling)
- Ice cream or whipped topping (optional)
Directions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Make the Filling:
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter (about 1 minute on high power).
- Let the butter cool slightly, then whisk in the egg, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, allspice, cloves, and salt (if using) until the mixture is smooth.
3. Add Dry Ingredients:
- Stir in the flour and rolled oats until well combined.
4. Fold in the Apple Pie Filling:
- Gently fold the canned apple pie filling into the mixture, making sure it’s evenly distributed.
5. Assemble the Pie:
- Pour the apple mixture into the frozen pie crust and spread it evenly.
- Optional: Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any potential drips during baking.
6. Bake:
- Bake the pie for 50-60 minutes, or until the top is golden and set. The pie may puff up during baking but will flatten as it cools.
7. Cool and Serve:
- Let the pie cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
- Optional: Drizzle with caramel sauce and serve with ice cream or whipped topping for an extra decadent treat.
Helpful Tips:
- Caramel Drizzle: For a richer flavor, use homemade caramel sauce or a store-bought caramel ice cream topping.
- Add Texture: You can add a handful of chopped pecans or walnuts to the crumble topping for extra crunch.
