Old Fashioned Apple Pie
Apple Pie is one of my all time favorite fall recipes to eat. Top it with ice cream and caramel drizzle and I'm in dessert heaven.
Until recently I never baked my own apple pie. I just assumed that they would be too hard to make, but boy was I wrong!
This apple pie recipe is simple, smells delicious while it's baking, and tastes amazing!
Ingredients to make an Old Fashioned Apple Pie Recipe
Here's what you'll need to get started:
- Granny Smith apples
- brown sugar
- sugar
- cinnamon
- nutmeg
- salt
- flour
- 9” pie crusts
- egg
- water
How to make Classic Apple Pie
FIRST STEP: Preheat oven to 425 degrees and spray your 9” pie plate with cooking spray.
SECOND STEP: Peel and thinly slice apples and place them in a large mixing bowl. I use an apple peeler and slicer to make this super quick and easy.
THIRD STEP: In a small bowl mix brown sugar, white sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and flour. Pour this mixture on top of the apples. Using a wooden spoon stir the sugar mixture with the apples until the apples are evenly coated.
FOURTH STEP: Place one pie crust in your pie plate. Pour the apple mixture in to the pie crust. Your pie will be full and may even mound up in the middle.
Baking an Apple Pie
FIFTH STEP: Top the apples with the second pie crust. I like to do a lattice top on my apple pie, but you can keep it simple! Just make sure you cut slits in the top crust so the pie can vent. Press the edges of the top and bottom crust together to seal the pie.
SIXTH STEP: In a small bowl make an egg wash by whisking together the egg and water. Brush the egg wash on top of the pie. Sprinkle remaining tablespoon of sugar over the top of the pie.
SEVENTH STEP: Cover the edge of the pie with a pie crust shield or aluminum foil to prevent burning. Bake 45-50 minutes until the pie is golden brown and the juices begin to bubble.
