Though perfect for fall, this apple pie bread is a delicious way to celebrate the flavors of the season all year long.

Pie in an Apple

Switch things up, and instead of serving your apples in a pie, put your pie in an apple. Instead of peeling and prepping fresh apples for pie, hollow out the fruit, chop the flesh, and toss it with a mixture of apple cider, flour, sugar, and spices. Bake with a piecrust topping and you'll be ready to dig in after just 20 minutes in the oven.
