Apple Pie
Did a holiday even happen if there was no apple pie? I say absolutely not! Round out your holidays with the easiest, simplest, most delicious apple pie you've ever come across! The perfect pie to make if you're a pie newbie, too!
Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 2 pie crusts
- 4 tablespoons butter
- ¼ cup flour
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon apple pie spice
- 7 medium-large green apples about 7 cups peeled and thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- coarse sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Gently press one pie crust into a 9-inch x 2-inch deep pie dish.
- In a large skillet, saute butter and apples til butter is melted. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute.
- Stir in sugar and brown sugar until dissolved. Bring to a boil and stir til thickened.
- Remove from heat, stir in cinnamon and apple pie spice. Transfer mixture into prepared pie crust.
- Top with second crust (see note!) and pinch edges of the two pie crusts together to seal.
- Brush top crust with heavy cream, then sprinkle generously with sugar (I use coarse sugar but granulated sugar works fine).
- Bake on bottom rack for 25-35 minutes. Allow to cool for at least one hour before slicing and serving.
Notes
Pie crust: I recommend using a lattice pie crust approach for the top crust OR at minimum cutting multiple 2-inch slits in the top pie crust. This will allow the filling to vent so that steam doesn't build up and result in a watery filling.
