Description
One of my favorite fruit pies — and the most classic — is apple pie. It’s a must-know for anyone interested in pie recipes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6–8 medium-sized apples (mix of Honeycrisp, Fuji, Granny Smith)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon butter, cut into small pieces
- Store-bought pie crusts or homemade pie dough
Instructions
- Start by skinning and cutting your apples into slices and putting them into a big bowl. Also, make sure your oven is heated to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Add all your ingredients to the apples: the sugar, brown sugar, all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Toss the apples until well coated.
- Place your pie dough in a pie pan. I usually use store-bought, but you can always make a homemade pie crust.
- Add the apple mixture to the crust, dot the top with butter pieces, and cover with the second crust. Cut small slits in the top of the pie to allow steam to escape.
- Place pie in the oven for 45 minutes or until the top of the pie is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. If the edges begin to brown too much, cover them with aluminum foil.
- Let your pie cool for at least 2 hours before cutting and serving. Enjoy with ice cream or whipped cream!
