The first time I used boiled cider was in these Inside-Out Pumpkin Muffins for September’s King Arthur Flour bakealong challenge. I didn’t have time to order some, so I just made my own.
This month’s challenge was apple pie. This recipe also called for boiled cider, and luckily, I still had some after making the muffins and creating these boiled cider pear oatmeal cookies.

Seriously, boiled cider takes apple pie flavor up a notch or two. It’s a rich, apple, almost molasses-like flavor that really makes a difference. I don’t know if I will ever be able to make an apple pie without it again.
For the crust, instead of a traditional weave, I used an apple-shaped cookie cutter to create cutouts for the top of the pie.

A bit creative in style, but not too much work. If you check the Bakealong site, you will see some beautiful, colorful, and elaborate crust ideas from this month’s talented participants.
I shared this Boiled Apple Cider Pie with many different people. Four others, to be exact. It got rave reviews. The pie also kept well in the fridge for a week. This recipe is definitely a keeper. A bit of cinnamon-scented whipped cream or vanilla ice cream on top would make this the perfect Thanksgiving dessert. That’s if you want to fancy it up a bit. The pie is just fine by itself.
