Quick & Delicious Apple Pie Using Toast Bread: Simple Recipe
If you have a lot of homemade apple jam leftover from slightly wilted apples, this recipe is for you! We’ll show you the easiest and quickest way to transform your abundant apple jam into a delicious apple pie. By using store-bought bread instead of making dough from scratch and utilizing your existing apple jam, you can create this incredibly simple dessert. Adding creamy cream cheese enhances the apple jam’s flavor and creates an even smoother texture. During hot summers, using an air fryer instead of an oven is not only convenient but also results in a wonderfully crispy pie. Air frying significantly cuts down cooking time while preserving that delightful crunch. While the preparation is super simple, the finished apple pie boasts a professional look and taste, with a crisp exterior and a rich, soft filling of apple jam and cream cheese. The subtle cinnamon aroma from the jam is also a delightful bonus!
Ingredients- 6 slices of bread
- 7-8 Tbsp apple jam
- 5-6 Tbsp cream cheese
- 1 Tbsp butter (melted)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, carefully trim off the crusts from the edges of each slice of bread. This step helps ensure a tender texture in the finished pie.
Step 2
Using a rolling pin or a smooth bottle, gently flatten each slice of bread. This makes it easier to fold later without tearing.
Step 3
Spread a layer of softened cream cheese evenly onto one side of the flattened bread. A thin, consistent layer will help all the flavors meld beautifully.
Step 4
Spoon 7-8 tablespoons of apple jam lengthwise down the center of the bread, over the cream cheese. You can adjust the amount of jam to your preference.
Step 5
Fold the bread in half, encasing the filling, and press the edges firmly together using the back of a fork to seal. You can make a small slit on the top of the pie to allow steam to escape, which also adds a decorative touch.
Step 6
Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a small bowl by microwaving it for about 1 minute. This melted butter will be used to brush the surface of the pies before baking.
Step 7
Using a pastry brush, evenly coat the top of each assembled pie with the melted butter. This coating will help the pies achieve a golden-brown and crispy finish.
Step 8
Place the bread pies into the air fryer basket and cook at 180°C (350°F) for 5 to 10 minutes, or until golden brown. Check for doneness after about 5 minutes and adjust the cooking time as needed, or stop once they reach your desired crispness. Be careful not to overcook!
