Easy Apple Pie in a Jar Recipe

Who doesn't love apple pie? I think pretty much everyone LOVES apple pie. And it is a staple at family gatherings and holidays. I always bring a dessert to a party and, as you know, I am a little obsessed with putting food in jars. So... I had to come up with a way to make a quick and easy apple pie in a jar that you could take to a party or serve at your next get-together. 

You do not need to be an accomplished baker to pull this off. In fact, it is so easy but so impressive that your guests will love it!

This recipe makes 4 jars, but you can easily double or triple to make lots for a party.

Supplies and Ingredients:

4 glass jars (or you can use ramekins, dessert bowls, drinking glasses)

1 sheet of frozen puff pastry

1 can of apple pie filling (or 1 cup homemade)

1/2 stick of melted butter

4 Tablespoons of sugar

1/2 cup whipped cream or 4 small scoops of vanilla ice cream (optional)

To prepare:

-gather your jars and ensure they are clean and dry

-defrost one sheet of frozen puff pastry

-preheat oven to 375 degrees and line a baking sheet with a Silpat or parchment paper

-roll out puff pastry on a lightly floured counter until it is 8 x 11 inches approximately

-brush surface with 2/3 of your melted butter, sprinkle with 3 Tablespoons sugar

-roll dough starting on a long side until completely rolled up

-slice crosswise into 12 slices

-roll each slice flat until about 2 inches in diameter and place on baking sheet; brush with remaining melted butter and sprinkle with sugar

-bake for approximately 30 minutes or until lightly brown and flaky

-remove from oven and allow to cool on a wire rack

-open can of filling

-place one pastry in bottom of jar, top with a scoop of apple pie filling; repeat with pastry, filling, pastry

-assemble remaining jars

-cover lightly with plastic wrap until ready to serve

-serve with whipped cream or ice cream, if desired

Enjoy!

My Mom gave me my first cookbook when I was six years old. I have been baking & cooking ever since.

I specialize in artisan marshmallows & confections. I want to sell a product that I would feed my children. The ingredients are simple, often local, organic & fair trade as well.

I love making marshmallows. Every single one. It brings me so much joy to create something unique, tasty, and delightful.
