A Delicious Apple Pie

This classic apple pie recipe combines tender, juicy apples with a flaky crust, creating a comforting dessert that brings joy to every occasion.

  • Total Time: 95 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 Perfect Pie Crust Recipe
  • ¼ cup butter
  • 8 cups thinly sliced apples (peeled and cored)
  • 2/3 cup lightly packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon water
  • Coarse sugar (for topping, optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pie plate: Set aside a 9-inch pie plate and preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Cook the apples: Melt butter in a large pot over medium-low heat. Add sliced apples, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, lemon juice, and salt. Cook for 8-10 minutes until apples are tender and cool slightly.
  3. Prepare the pie dough: Divide dough into two parts, roll one out to fit the pie plate, and place it in the plate.
  4. Make the egg wash: Whisk egg and water in a small bowl.
  5. Assemble the pie: Pour the cooled apple mixture into the crust, roll out the second dough, and cover the filling. Cut vents if using a full coverage.
  6. Seal and vent: Trim excess dough, crimp edges, and ensure sealing.
  7. Apply the egg wash: Brush the pie with the egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.
  8. Bake the pie: Bake at 425°F for 15 minutes, then lower to 350°F and bake for an additional 40 minutes until golden brown.
  9. Cool before serving: Allow the pie to cool before slicing.

Notes

Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra treat. Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to two days or in the refrigerator for about a week.
