Homemade Apple Pie Recipe Made With Fresh Apples
- Recipe for 9″ Double Crust Pie Crust
- 6 cups Granny Smith apple slices, peeled and cored
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/2 — 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon or nutmeg to taste
- 2 Tablespoons cold butter, cut in small pieces
- 1 Tablespoon milk or cream for brushing the top crust
- 1 Tablespoon sugar and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon for dusting the crust
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Roll out the pie crust bottom and tops leaving enough overhang to fold underneath. Place the bottom pie crust evenly in a 9″ pie pan or ceramic pie dish and set aside. Fold the top crust in half and place a towel over it so it doesn’t dry out.
- In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice. Add sugars, flour and spices if desired, mixing gently.
- Fold into prepared pie crust and dot with cold butter.
- Follow the double crust directions below.
- Bake for 50–60 minutes or until crust is golden brown and juices are bubbly. Place a piece of aluminum foil around the rim if the edges start to brown too fast.
- Remove to cooling rack and let cool for at least 30 minutes.
- Serve Apple Pie à la mode with ice cream or sweetened whipped cream.
- Refrigerate any leftovers…IF there are any!
- Makes 1 double crust apple pie. Serves 8.
