Apple Pie Ring Recipe
This apple pie ring recipe is simple, easy, and sure to impress your guests! It's the perfect Fall dessert you can whip up with just a few ingredients and a little bit of time.
Equipment
- 1 cookie sheet
- Parchment paper
- pizza slicer optional
Ingredients
- 2 apples
- 2 pie crusts
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 pinch salt optional
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Peel the apples and slice into thin rounds, about 1/4 inch thick. You should be left with 5-6 rings per medium sized apple.
- Using a small round cutter (or a bottle cap), punch a hole in the center of each apple slice to create a ring.
- On a cutting board, roll out the pie crust and slice into thin strips, approximately 3/4 inch wide.
- Wrap each strip of pie crust around an apple ring, threading it through the center hole and wrapping around the edges to cover.
- Place the apple rings on a parchment-lined baking tray. Brush the tops with olive oil, then dip into the cinnamon sugar mixture so the tops are coated.
- Bake for 30 minutes, or until the pie crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
- Allow the apple pie rings to cool completely before serving. Serve and enjoy this perfect twist on a classic dessert!

Notes
- Homemade pie dough is always preferred over store-bought.
- If using store-bought pie crust, let the pie crust thaw completely before handling to avoid breakage, sprinkle water to moisten it, and if necessary, make it into a ball and roll it out to renew it.
- If you're in a time crunch or want an easy substitute for pie dough, you can also use puff pastry.
- Be tender as you wrap the dough around each apple rings. Depending on how fragile your apple is, they can break easily.
