Ingredients for Apple Pie

Here’s everything you’ll need to make this Apple Pie

• 2 pie crusts homemade or store-bought
• 6 medium apples Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or a mix
• ¾ cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon butter cut into small cubes
• 1 egg for egg wash
• 1 tablespoon milk

How to Make Apple Pie

Step One

The first thing you need to do is prepare the apples: Wash, peel, and slice them into thin strips. Place them in a large bowl.

Step Two

Now, make the filling: Add the sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice to the apples. Stir until the strips are evenly coated. Prepare the crust: Roll out one pie crust and place it in a 9-inch pie plate. Gently press it to fit. Then, add the filling: Pour the apple mixture into the crust. Spread it evenly and scatter over the butter cubes.

Step Three

Topping the pie: Roll out the second crust and place it over the filling. You can leave it whole with slits for steam or cut it into strips for a lattice design. Seal the edges by pinching or pressing with a fork. Then, brush with egg: Combine the egg and milk, then brush over the crust for a shiny, golden finish.

Step Four

Now, it’s time to bake: Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F). Bake for 50-60 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Finally, let it cool before serving: Let the pie rest for at least 30 minutes before cutting to allow the filling to set.

Tips for the Best Apple Pie

Use a mix of tart and sweet apples for a balanced flavor.

Chill the pie dough before baking to keep the crust flaky.

Don’t skip the lemon juice it keeps apples from turning brown and adds brightness.

Slice apples evenly so they cook at the same rate.

Serving Suggestion

I like to serve this pie with warm tea or a hot cocoa drink for the kids, and during the day I like to serve it with fruit juice or a mojito.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use red apples instead of green ones ?

Yes, but red apples like Red Delicious can become too soft and mushy. Mixing red and green apples is a good option.

How thin should I slice the apples ?

Slice apples about ¼-inch thick. This helps them cook evenly without turning into mush.

Can I freeze apple pie ?

Yes! Bake the pie, let it cool, then wrap it tightly and freeze for up to 3 months.

Can I make apple pie without cinnamon ?

Yes. Cinnamon is traditional, but you can use nutmeg, allspice, or just sugar for flavor.
