Apple Pie Recipe
Making a homemade apple pie is an enjoyable and rewarding experience. I encourage you to give it a try and share the delicious results with your friends and family.
Ingredients
- 8 cups Fresh Apples thinly sliced
- 1-2 teaspoons Spices cinnamon and nutmeg
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1/4 cup Flour
- 1/2 cup Butter cold cut into cubes
- 2 Pie Crust homemade or store-bought
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and sugar.
- Add the butter and blend the mixture together with a pastry cutter or your fingers, until the texture becomes like coarse sand.
- Add the ice water slowly while mixing the ingredients together using your hands. Mix until the dough becomes firm and holds together.
- Divide the dough in half, flatten each half into a disk, and wrap them with plastic wrap.
- Refrigerate for at least an hour before rolling out.
- With your pie crust and apple filling ready, the next step is to assemble and bake your apple pie. I recommend using a 9-inch pie dish for the perfect balance of crust and filling.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Place the pie crust into the pie dish and trim any excess dough around the edges.
- Add the apple filling onto the crust, spreading it evenly.
- Add a top layer of crust, either by placing a full crust on top or by creating a lattice crust with strips of pastry.
- Seal the edges of the crust using a fork or your fingers.
- Make small slits on top of the crust to allow steam to escape.
- Bake for around 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for at least 30 minutes before serving.
