Ingredients That Say YUM!

Gather these superstars for your pie:

4 to 6 cups sliced, peeled apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work great)
¾ cup sugar (or sweeten to taste - no judgment here!)
¼ cup flour (because pies shouldn’t be a gooey mess)
1 teaspoon cinnamon (the spice of life)
¼ teaspoon nutmeg (just a sprinkle to feel fancy)
2 tablespoons lemon juice (keeps the apples from turning browner than your sense of humor)
1 tablespoon butter (for that rich, buttery goodness)
1 ready-made pie crust (store-bought – we won’t tell!)

Instructions That Are Almost Too Easy

Let’s dive into the magical world of pie-making:

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). It’s about to get hot in here, pie lovers!
In a large bowl, combine those sliced apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Toss it all together like you’re in a salad frenzy!
Grab your pie crust and fit it into a pie pan. No need to be fancy, just make sure it’s snug!
Fill the crust with your apple mixture. Make sure to mound it high – we’re looking for maximum apple coverage!
Dab the butter on top like Bob Ross would with paint on a canvas.
Cover it with another pie crust, crimping the edges to keep all that juicy goodness inside. Cut a few slits on the top to let the steam escape — we want flavors, not explosions!
Bake this masterpiece in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Then reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for another 35-45 minutes, or until the apples are bubbly and the crust is golden brown.

Once it’s out of the oven, let it cool for a bit before slicing. The aroma will draw everyone into the kitchen like a moth to a flame! Serve it warm, and if you’re feeling extra fancy, throw a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. You just made a Basic Apple Pie. Go on, take a bow — you’ve earned it!
