Classic Apple Pie
If I had to pick a favorite thing that I like to eat & make, it would have to be pies. So I've been following this easy recipe since I was a teenager. It comes out flaky and delicious every time. It's my classic Apple Pie and it is one my family requests all the time.
Ingredients
- 5-6 Tart Apples
- 2 tbsp. (approx.) Lemon Juice
- ¾ cup Sugar
- ⅛ tsp. Salt
- 3 tbsp. Flour
- 1 tsp. Cinnamon
- ¼ tsp. Nutmeg
- 2-3 tbsp. Butter Chilled
For egg wash
- 1 Egg Beated
- 1 tbsp. Water or Milk OR use evaporated milk on its own
Instructions
- Peel and slice apples in small thin wedges and place in large mixing bowl.
- Pour lemon juice over apples and mix to coat them. (This will keep them from turning brown and will also give them a little more tartness, which is what you want in an apple pie.)
- In a separate bowl combine sugar, salt, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg.
- Place a thin layer of sliced apples into your pie crust.
- Sprinkle plenty of your sugar & flour mixture over them.
- Then place a few pats of butter on top.
- Add another layer of apples on top, and continue to repeat the process until all the ingredients are used.
- Cover apples with top pie crust.
- Crip sides with fingers or fork.
- Cut small heat vents on top pie crust.
- Brush egg wash over entire pie.
- Bake at 450º for the first 10 minutes.
- Lower temperature to 350º and continue baking 30-40 minutes longer, until pie crust is a light golden brown.
- Allow pie to set at least 4 hours before cutting into it.
- It is best the next day.
