Description
A classic dessert featuring a warm, spiced apple filling and flaky crust, perfect for family gatherings and indulgent treats.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 (9″) pie crust pastries for a double crust
- 4 – 6 Granny Smith apples (or a variety of crisp apples)
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 1/2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°.
- Peel, core, and chop the apples.
- Combine the white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, cornstarch, and lemon juice in a mixing bowl. Mix well, then add this combination to the chopped apples, stirring to ensure the apples are well coated.
- Pour the apple mixture into one of the pie crusts. Dot the top with thin slices of butter.
- Wet the edge of the crust with cold water, then place the second crust on top. Lightly press the edges to seal, and trim any excess crust.
- Crimp the edges for a decorative touch and cut a few slits into the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Brush the top crust with cream or egg yolk and sprinkle sugar over it for added shine.
- Bake in the middle of the oven for 10 minutes at 400°. Reduce the temperature to 350° and continue baking for another 50 – 55 minutes.
- Cover loosely and refrigerate any leftovers.
