This is a simple pseudo apple pie recipe, if there is such a thing. Only the border of the dish has crust, which means you’re not rolling out dough and trying to gently place it in the pan – or you could use this recipe to finish off that little bit of pie crust that you have – or you could simply leave it off if you’re gluten free.
What is interesting here is that it’s just apples, lemon, eggs, and sugar. There are no spices – no cinnamon or nutmeg – which I find unusual. In a good way.
Happy fall!

I really like the idea of putting the crust around the sides only. Then you don’t have to worry about soggy crust. I bet it’s delicious sans cinnamon and with just the apples and citrus. I might try that around the holidays.

I was thinking it would be soooo much easier than trying to make a whole pie crust! You’re right about the soggy crust, too. Fantastic idea!
