Classic Apple Pie

Get ready to create a masterpiece! This apple pie recipe combines tart apples with sugar and spices, nestled in a buttery crust, resulting in a scrumptious treat that everyone will love.

Ingredients

Here’s what you will need to make this classic apple pie:

2 ½ pounds of Granny Smith apples, peeled and sliced
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon butter, cut into small cubes
1 package of refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts)
1 egg (for egg wash)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, sugar, flour, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Toss everything until the apples are well coated.
Roll out one pie crust and place it in a 9-inch pie pan. Trim any excess, leaving about a 1-inch overhang.
Fill the crust with the apple mixture, spreading it out evenly. Dot the top with small cubes of butter.
Cover with the second pie crust, sealing the edges well. Cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
Beat the egg and brush it over the top crust for a shiny finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for an additional 35-45 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the crust is golden brown.
Let the pie cool for at least 2 hours before slicing. This allows the juices to set and makes for cleaner cuts.

Enjoy each slice of this classic masterpiece with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra special treat!
