Ingredients
Crust
- 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs, about 10 cracker sheets, crushed
- 6 tablespoons (85 g) unsalted butter, melted
Apples
- 1 package (3 ounces) lemon jello mix
- 1 teaspoon apple pie spice
- 1½ cups water
- 5 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
Pudding Mixture
- 1 package (3 ounces) cook-and-serve vanilla pudding mix
- ¼ cup water
- whipped topping, optional for serving
Instructions
Crust
- Add the melted butter to the graham cracker crumbs and, using a fork, mix well. You want every crumb coated in the butter as this will be the glue that holds it together.
- Pour the graham cracker crumbs into a 9-inch pie dish. Pat them flat with your hand and then use a kitchen glass to press flatter. Start at the center and work out to and up the sides.
Apple Filling
- In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, add jello, apple pie spice, 1½ cups water, and apple slices. Mix together until every apple is coated.
- Bring the mixture to a boil. Then, reduce heat to medium-low and cover.
- Simmer 8-12 minutes, or until apples are tender. (You may need to stir occasionally.)
Pudding Mixture
- In a medium bowl, whisk together pudding mixture and water.
Assembly
- Pour pudding mixture into apple mixture and stir to combine. You should see the mixture start to thicken immediately. Continue cooking until thickened, stirring occasionally (about 1 minute).
- Pour apple mixture into crust and let it sit for about 5 minutes before putting it into the refrigerator to chill for about 3 hours.
- Top with whipped topping and serve.
