Ingredients:
Alright, let’s get down to business! Here’s what you’ll need to create this delicious dessert:
- 2 ½ cups sliced, peeled apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp, for flavor explosion)
- ¾ cup sugar (because we love it sweet)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (the spice of life)
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg (a little nutty makes everything better)
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (the glue that holds it together)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (zesty goodness)
- 1 pre-made pie crust (come on, we’re not all bakers here!)
- 1 tablespoon butter (to make it extra decadent)
- 1 egg (for that golden glaze)
Instructions:
Now that you have your ingredients, let’s get cooking! Follow these easy-peasy instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) — you want it hot enough to make things sizzle!
- In a large bowl, mix together the sliced apples, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, flour, and lemon juice. Make sure the apples are well-coated; after all, we want every bite to burst with flavor.
- Roll out the pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie pan. Don’t be shy! It’s your masterpiece.
- Pour the apple mixture into the pie crust, and don’t forget to dot those apples with small pieces of butter. Yum!
- Cover the pie with another layer of crust, crimping the edges to seal in all that juicy goodness. Cut a few slits in the top to let the steam escape; no one likes a soggy bottom!
- Brush the top crust with beaten egg to achieve that mouth-watering golden color.
- Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 30 to 35 minutes. Your kitchen will smell like a slice of heaven during this time!
- Once the pie is golden brown and bubbly, let it cool for a bit before slicing – patience, my friend!
And voila! You've created an apple pie that’s guaranteed to impress. Serve it up with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and prepare yourself for the sweet serenade of compliments!
