This pie is not only delicious but also easy to make. With a flaky crust and a sweet, aromatic filling, it's sure to become a favorite in your household.
Ingredients
To make this scrumptious pie, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 prepared pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 6 cups of peeled and sliced apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp works well)
- 3/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon butter (cut into small pieces)
Instructions
Now that you have all your ingredients ready, here’s how to make the pie:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, maple syrup, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, flour, and lemon juice. Mix gently until the apples are well-coated.
- Place the prepared pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish. Pour the apple mixture into the crust and spread it evenly.
- Dot the filling with small pieces of butter for added richness.
- Cover the pie with a top crust, sealing the edges well. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes. Then reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for an additional 30-35 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the crust is golden brown.
- Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. This pie is wonderful on its own or served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
Enjoy your homemade Apple and Maple Syrup Pie, and watch it disappear in no time!
