These Copycat McDonald’s Homemade Apple Pies are a surprisingly easy, 4 ingredient recipe that will have you wondering why you never made them before! These come together so easily, helped by store-bought pastry. The result is a crisp shell filled with delicious, warm caramel apple filling. These taste better and are healthier than the McDonald’s variety, especially since we bake them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As with any pastry recipe, I tend to recommend store bought due to time and hassle. We don’t all have the time or inclination to make our own pastry. That said, if you’re looking to impress, do check out my rough puff pastry recipe<\/a>, which is a super simple ‘cheats’ puff pastry! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The filling to these apple pies is just a simple apple, brown sugar and butter combo that gets cooked on the stovetop. The result is the classic soft, caramel-ly, rich filling that will fill your kitchen with the best smell! Make sure to drain off any excess liquid that could cause the pastry to go soggy – no soggy bottoms here! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
