Classic Apple Pie Recipe
Ingredients
For the crust (makes 2 crusts):
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 6–8 tbsp ice water
For the filling:
- 6–7 medium apples, peeled, cored, and sliced (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work well)
- ¾ cup sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour (to thicken)
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Optional:
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 1 tbsp sugar for sprinkling
Instructions
- Make the crust:
- In a large bowl, mix flour, salt, and sugar.
- Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add ice water, 1 tbsp at a time, until dough comes together.
- Divide into 2 discs, wrap in plastic, and chill at least 1 hour.
- Prepare the filling:
- In a bowl, toss apple slices with sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg, flour, lemon juice, and vanilla.
- Assemble the pie:
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Roll out one dough disc and place in a 9-inch pie pan.
- Pour in apple filling.
- Roll out the second dough disc and cover pie. Trim edges and crimp.
- Cut small slits in the top for steam to escape.
- Optional: brush with beaten egg and sprinkle sugar.
- Bake:
- Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 20 minutes.
- Reduce heat to 375°F (190°C) and bake 35–40 minutes until crust is golden and filling is bubbly.
- Cool & Serve:
- Let pie cool at least 2 hours to set the filling.
- Serve plain or with vanilla ice cream.
Tips
- 🍏 Apple mix: Combine tart (Granny Smith) and sweet (Honeycrisp) for depth of flavor.
- 🧈 Extra buttery crust: Chill the dough well and use cold butter for flakiness.
- 🥄 Prevent soggy bottom: Brush bottom crust lightly with egg white before adding filling.
If you want, I can also give a quick 30-minute version using pre-made pie crust that still tastes homemade and amazing.
