Apple Pie
Homemade Apple Pie Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 9" pie crusts
- 3 lbs. apples peeled and sliced
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- ⅛ teaspoon cloves
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar
- 1 ½ tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 ½ tbsp lemon juice
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 1 egg whisked
Cinnamon Sugar Topping
- 2 tablespoon sugar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare two 9" pie crusts or remove store bought pie dough from fridge/freezer.
- Peel apples and slice thinly about ⅛" - ¼" thick. Be sure to remove core/seeds.
- In a small bowl mix sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and salt.
- Heat a skillet to medium heat and add the apples, lemon juice and sugar mixture and stir to combine. Cook for about 5 minutes until apples are tender but not too soft, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Lay the first pie crust into a lightly buttered pie dish. Pour apples into the dish. Either lay the entire second crust on top of the pie or cut dough into long even strips 2" thick and weave the crust making a lattice top. Then, pinch sides close.
- Brush top of pie crust with egg wash and then sprinkle evenly with cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Place pie in the preheated oven and bake for 30-40 minutes until pie is bubbly and crust is golden.
Notes
*If the top of your pie is getting too dark or it has achieved the level of browning you want, simply place a piece of foil on top and finish cooking. This will prevent further browning while allowing the pie to cook fully on the inside.
