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.
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!
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.
