Here’s a classic homemade Apple Pie recipe—sweet, spiced apples in a flaky crust. 🍎🥧
🍎 Apple Pie
🛒 Ingredients (Serves 6–8)
For the Pie Crust
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 6–8 tbsp ice water
(You can also use 2 store-bought pie crusts.)
For the Apple Filling
- 6 cups apples, peeled and sliced (about 5–6 apples)
- ¾ cup sugar
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour or cornstarch
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp nutmeg (optional)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp butter, cut into small pieces
🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat Oven
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2️⃣ Prepare the Filling
In a large bowl combine:
- sliced apples
- sugar
- flour or cornstarch
- cinnamon and nutmeg
- lemon juice and vanilla
Mix well so apples are coated.
3️⃣ Prepare the Crust
Roll out one pie crust and place it in a 9-inch pie dish.
4️⃣ Fill the Pie
Pour the apple mixture into the crust. Dot the filling with small pieces of butter.
5️⃣ Add the Top Crust
Place the second crust on top. Seal the edges and cut small slits for steam to escape.
(Optional: brush with egg wash and sprinkle a little sugar.)
6️⃣ Bake
Bake 45–55 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
7️⃣ Cool & Serve
Let the pie cool for at least 2 hours before slicing so the filling thickens.
💡 Tips
- Good apples for pie: Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Braeburn.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
- Cover crust edges with foil if they brown too quickly.
