Homemade Apple Pie

April 20, 2017

A few years ago I was asked to bake an apple pie for my family’s Thanksgiving dinner. Having never baked a pie before, I was nervous, especially because it was for such a big holiday! I did some research and found a recipe that I liked and seemed easy enough. I followed the recipe, added my own touches and it turned out to be delicious! I now make a pie for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner, and just recently I made one for Easter. I am still perfecting my technique and have yet to make my own dough for the crust, but it’s become a family holiday staple that I love to bake.

Here’s the recipe!

Ingredients:

1 recipe pastry for a 9-inch double crust pie
½ cup unsalted butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
¼ cup water
½ cup white sugar
½ cup packed brown sugar
Few dashes of cinnamon to taste
7-9 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and sliced (amount of apples will vary depending on their size)

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  2. Melt the butter in a sauce pan. Stir in flour to form a paste. Add water, white sugar, brown sugar and cinnamon, and bring to a boil. Reduce temperature and let simmer.
  3. Place bottom of crust in your pan. Fill with apple slices and mound slightly. Top the pie one of two ways-
    1. Cover with a lattice work crust. Gently pour the sugar and butter liquid over the crust. Pour slowly so that it does not run off.
    2. OR Gently pour the sugar and butter liquid over the apples. Cover with top crust. Use milk or butter to connect seal to the bottom crust. Flute/crimp the edges. Brush the top with milk and dust with cinnamon sugar. Cut slits in the top to vent.
  1. Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven.
  2. Reduce the temperature to 350 degrees and continue baking for 35-45 minutes, until apples are soft.

Tips:
Place baking sheet under the pie while it is baking to catch any liquid that may bubble over.
Learn how to lattice crust.
Cover the edges of the crust with two to three inch strips of aluminum foil to prevent excess browning.
