Unbelievably Good Shredded Apple Pie
Sweet and cinnamon Shredded Apple Pie is a twist on a classic dessert. The consistency of course is different than a traditional apple pie, but the taste is different as well. Eggs in the shredded apple mixture create a wonderful flavor.
Shredded Apple Pie is not something I’d heard of until I tried this delicious pie. My mother commented that the texture and taste reminded her a bit of pecan pie, which I agree on.
This is a very sweet pie indeed. I think you could safely get away with cutting the sugar down to using one cup total, if you prefer. I was blown away at how good this pie was. Enjoy!

Love this pie! Making it again for the third time!
My husband called this the "best apple pie that I have ever had!". Making again – it's a family fav!
What did you use to grate the apples?
I used a regular box grater (cheese grater).
can you use canned apple pie filling ?
I don't think that would work very well for this pie, but you are welcome to give it a shot.
