Description

A classic American dessert featuring a flaky, buttery pie crust filled with tender, spiced apple slices. This comforting homemade apple pie balances sweet and tart flavors with cinnamon and nutmeg, making it perfect for cozy gatherings and traditional meals.

Ingredients

Pie Crust

  • 1 double pie crust

Filling

  • 6 cups sliced apples
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it is at the right temperature for baking the pie evenly.
  2. Prepare Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples with sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Toss everything together until the apples are evenly coated with the spices and sugar mixture.
  3. Assemble Pie: Place one of the pie crusts into a pie dish, making sure it is evenly spread and pressed against the sides of the dish.
  4. Add Filling and Butter: Pour the apple mixture into the crust-lined pie dish. Dot the filling with small pieces of butter distributed on top to add richness as it melts during baking.
  5. Cover and Seal: Place the second pie crust over the apple filling. Seal the edges by pressing them together with your fingers or a fork to prevent leaks while baking.
  6. Vent the Pie: Cut small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking, helping the pie to cook properly without becoming soggy.
  7. Bake: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  8. Cool Before Serving: Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool before slicing. This helps the filling to set and makes serving easier.

Notes

  • Use a mix of sweet and tart apples such as Granny Smith and Honeycrisp for balanced flavor and texture.
  • Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra special treat.
  • Make sure to seal the edges well to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.
  • Let the pie cool completely if you prefer firmer slices and easier cutting.
