Description
A traditional dessert featuring a flaky crust and tender, spiced apples that brings warm memories of family gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and sliced
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (for pie crust)
- 1/4 cup ice water (for pie crust)
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: If you’re making your own pie crust, mix flour and salt, cut in cold butter until crumbly, then add ice water until it holds together. Roll it out and place it in a pie dish.
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Prepare the Apples: Core, peel, and slice your apples. Toss them in a bowl with granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and a bit of flour.
- Fill the Pie: Pour the apple mixture into the prepared crust, mounding it slightly higher in the center.
- Top it Off: Roll out your second crust, place it on top, and cut slits for steam to escape. Crimp the edges together to seal.
- Bake: Place in the oven for about 45-50 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Cool: Let it set for at least 2 hours before slicing.
Notes
Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a delightful treat. Using a mix of sweet and tart apples enhances flavor complexity.
