How to Make Apple Jell O Pie
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare your 9-inch pie crust (homemade or store-bought).
- In a large bowl, gently toss 6 cups peeled and thinly sliced apples (about 6 medium apples) with 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
- Sprinkle 1 package (1 ounce) of unflavored gelatin evenly over the apple slices. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
- In a separate bowl, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces. Use a pastry blender or your fingertips to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Arrange the apple slices in the prepared pie crust.
- Pour 1/4 cup of apple juice or water over the apples and gelatin mixture to fully dissolve the gelatin and evenly moisten the filling.
- Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apples.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, cover the edges with foil.
- Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
