Chai Apple Pie is the perfect cozy twist on classic apple pie just in time for Pi Day! I’ve partnered with Karo® Syrup on this delicious recipe.
Yes, it’s March, and yes I am posting an apple pie recipe. I’m basically going against all the laws of the food blogging land. Posting an apple recipe while people are gearing up for Spring Break? I am going way against trend here. Not only is this an apple pie, it is a CHAI apple pie, which makes it all the more cozy. Have you ever had a Chai Tea Latte? Yeah, imagine that mixed with tart apples and a buttery streusel…
You get it now, right? That’s the type of dessert that belongs on your yearly rotation…not just designated to the “pie making months”. We’re rebels over here, but it’s perfect to bake up with Pi Day right around the corner! Make sure to bake extra to share with friends—they will love you forever!
The fantastic detail with this Apple Pie, is that not only is is packed with tart Granny Smith Apples, it’s lightly sweetened with Karo® Syrup, which adds just the perfect amount of balance to the apples. Adding in the Chai spices is just a nice little way to “bake a little extra” and make the pie special to share with friends on Pi Day.
And did I mention there is streusel topping involved? Yeah that.
The pie goes together in minutes. This is a deceptively easy recipe for sure, especially if you start with a store-bought pie crust!
You slice the apples and then just mix your Karo® Corn Syrup, Argo® Corn Starch, spices, vanilla, and a little honey together.
The Karo Syrup gives it the perfect texture for coating your apples!
Pour your apples evenly into your pie crust and then whip up a quick streusel topping…
That goes directly on top of the apples before you bake it!
When it’s done it will be golden brown and gorgeous!
And if you can, wait until it’s cooled a bit before slicing. It’s worth the wait!
So cheers to pie all year long!
