Easy Cinnamon Applesauce Pie
Serves: 6-8 | Prep Time: 20 minutes | Cook Time: 45 minutes

Pie Ingredients:
1 refrigerated pie crust
1 jar Joe’s Market Cinnamon Applesauce, Chunky Slice

Topping Ingredients:
½ cup pecans, coarsely chopped
½ cup flour
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
½ tsp. nutmeg
¼ tsp. ginger
4 Tbsp. butter, cut into ¼-inch pieces

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place pie crust in a pie pan and flute edges. Line crust with parchment paper or coffee filters and fill with beans or rice, making sure they are evenly distributed and reach edges of pie pan. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove beans and lining from pie pan, pierce bottom and edges of pie all over with a fork, and return to oven for 5 minutes. While pie crust is baking, mix together topping ingredients in a medium bowl until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Once ready, remove crust from oven. Pour applesauce into shell, spreading with a spoon until it’s evenly distributed. Sprinkle crumb mixture over applesauce. Cover exposed edges of crust with foil to prevent them from burning. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until topping looks set and nuts are toasted.
