Apple pie is a classic American dessert that is perfect for any occasion. This recipe is easy to follow and produces a delicious, flaky pie that everyone will love.
To make this apple pie, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 (9-inch) pie crust, pre-baked
- 6 cups peeled, cored, and sliced apples
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, combine the apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and lemon juice.
- Pour the apple mixture into the pre-baked pie crust.
- Top with the second pie crust and crimp the edges to seal.
- Cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Let cool completely before serving.
Tips:
- For a crispier crust, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) for the first 15 minutes of baking, then reduce the heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- If you don't have a pre-baked pie crust, you can make your own.
- You can use any type of apple you like in this recipe.
- For a fun twist, add a handful of raisins or chopped nuts to the apple filling.
- Apple pie is best served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Enjoy!
