Swedish Apple Pie

As part of my bridal shower, my mom sent out recipe cards for all of the guests to share their favorite recipes. My grandmother gave me one of her “quick and easy” apple pie recipes that she had clipped from a newspaper. It’s just that and more! It’s always a crowd pleaser and totally delicious. It’s more like a cake sitting on a bed of apples. I hope you enjoy!
