This classic Apple Pie recipe features a buttery homemade crust filled with tender, cinnamon-spiced apples. Perfectly baked to golden perfection, this dessert offers a warm, comforting treat ideal for any occasion.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Filling

  • 1 cup granulated sugar (200 grams)
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (15 grams)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (3 grams)
  • 6-8 apples, peeled and sliced

Crust and Topping

  • 2 homemade pie crusts
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (28 grams), cubed (¼ stick)
  • Small amount of milk, for brushing
  • Leftover sugar, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the pie.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, and ground cinnamon until the mixture is well blended.
  3. Coat Apples: Add the peeled and sliced apples to the sugar mixture and toss well to ensure all apple slices are evenly coated. Use about 6 apples for the pie plate and roughly ¾ of the sugar mixture.
  4. Prepare Pie Base: Line a pie pan with one of the homemade pie crusts.
  5. Add Filling: Pour the sugar-coated apples into the crust-lined pie pan. Dot the apple filling with the cubed unsalted butter evenly.
  6. Seal with Top Crust: Place the second pie crust over the apple filling and seal the edges firmly. Cut a few small slits on the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
  7. Apply Milk and Sugar: Lightly brush the top crust with a small amount of milk using a fork to avoid sogginess, then sprinkle evenly with the leftover sugar to promote browning.
  8. Bake the Pie: Place the pie on the middle rack of the oven with a cookie sheet on a lower rack to catch any overflow. Bake for about 50 minutes until the crust is golden and filling is bubbling.
  9. Cool and Serve: Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely before slicing and serving to allow the filling to set properly.

Notes

  • Using a fork to brush milk on the crust helps prevent sogginess compared to using a spoon.
  • A cookie sheet placed below the pie pan is recommended to catch any spills and keep the oven clean.
  • Allow the pie to cool fully before cutting to ensure clean slices and the filling is set.
  • You can adjust the amount of sugar mixture based on apple sweetness and personal taste preferences.
