I’ve taken a break the past few weeks from Decades of Desserts for a few reasons, one being that we were moving, then traveling, then sickness decided to enter our home. I am ready for it to be out of here and spring to come. These past few days we have been spoiled with spring weather after what seems like a never ending winter this year for us in Oklahoma. I know it’s a trick though because I am sure the weather will be cold again soon, although I’ll keep praying against that!
In the meantime, I’m warming up inside with this Old English Apple Pie. This recipe came from another one of my aunt’s that just recently passed away and in the midst of that, I was given her recipe collection. I love reading through the collection because I feel like I am learning more about her.
This Old English Apple Pie would be absolutely delicious paired with a side of vanilla frozen yogurt or ice cream. It’s similar to my Apple Crisp recipe that I have posted in the past except it’s sort of a mini version.
It’s quick to put together in just about 10 minutes, then I baked it for an hour until the apples were nice and tender, the smell drifting through the air in our home was wonderful.
This is one of those that topped over a little frozen yogurt, it turns into the perfect sweet little snack for the family.
Enjoy!

Love the simple ingredients! This looks amazing!
Thank you! It’s yummy!
This looks like a nice recipe, but in England this is an apple crumble not an apple pie!
I would call it Apple Crumble too, so I agree. In this case, I Just wanted to stick to the title of the original recipe. It was passed down and a very old recipe, I’d love to know though the story behind the name of the recipe too just to find out why the person who wrote it called it apple pie. It’s def good though! 🙂
Your Old English Apple Pie recipe is almost identical to a recipe I grew up with (I’m in my late 80’s now) that my mother called Old English Apple Pudding. Two differences. First, we did not add water to the apples; they seem to produce enough juice on their own because — Second, a technique difference. The combined sugar, butter and flour are pressed together to form a crust to top and seal the apples into the plate. That would make it more like a pie and less like a crumble. I usually press the mixture flat between the palms of my hands in batches, but it could probably be rolled out too. It is baked until the apples are tender and the crust is crisp and slightly brown. Over the years, because I like the ratio of more apples, I have baked the pudding in a casserole dish that I fill with apples and top with the crust. It’s good eaten warm with vanilla ice cream or cold right out of the frig.
