Ingredients You'll Need:
Gather these ingredients and let’s get baking:
- 6 to 8 cups of sliced apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work great!)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 package of refrigerated pie crusts (or make your own if you're feeling fancy)
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
Instructions:
Time to get this pie party started! Follow these simple steps:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large bowl, mix the sliced apples with granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, flour, and lemon juice. Let it sit for about 10 minutes for the juices to mix.
- Roll out one pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan. Pour the apple mixture into the crust, ensuring it's evenly spread out.
- Dot the top with small pieces of butter.
- Cover with the second pie crust, and cut slits in the top for steam to escape. If you’re feeling creative, you can crimp the edges or create a lattice design!
- Brush the top with a whisked egg to give it that golden color.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Then reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 30 to 35 minutes, until the apples are tender and the crust is golden brown.
- Let it cool before slicing so you don’t burn your mouth (trust me, I’ve been there).
And there you have it! A homemade apple pie that’s sure to impress family and friends. Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and watch those smiles light up the room. It’s simple, it's classic, and it’s downright delicious. Happy baking!
