Fresh Apple Pie

Fresh Apple Pie

Adapted from an internet recipe.
Been many years since I have had apple pie, and even longer since having home made pie. I made this on 13 Oct 2016, and used the pie crust recipe as well listed in the Recipe Notes section, and it is wonderful, excellent pie! On my GO-TO list now! Link to the Shortcut is listed in the Notes section.

Equipment

  • Pie Dish (8 or 9 inch)
  • Oven

Ingredients
  

  • 6-8 medium apples, peeled, cored, slices cut in half
  • 1 cup sugar, or ½ cup white sugar and ¼ cup packed brown sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
  • 2 pie crusts, Shortcut
  • 1 egg

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 190° C (375° F). Get out a 8 or 9 inch pie dish.
  • Place the apple pieces in a large bowl, sprinkle with corn starch and gently mix to coat the apples. Cornstarch will thicken the pie.
  • In a bowl, add the sugar, nutmeg, and cinnamon, and mix together with a spoon. This batch is the white sugar, brown sugar, nutmeg, and cinnamon version.
  • Add the apples pieces and spread out evenly. I used an 8 inch pie dish for this pie.
  • Sprinkle the sugar mixture over the apples. , cinnamon, and nutmeg. Dot the top with the butter pieces. Place the top crust on and slice a couple of vents in the top. You can also wrap some foil around the edge of the crust to prevent that from over cooking. In a small bowl, beat the egg with a tablespoon of water and brush the top of the pie, then the top will bake to a glossy brown, can also sprinkle sugar on the top to give the crust a sweet crunch.
  • Now roll out the top crust, use as one sheet or lattice. I went for a wide lattice on this pie.
  • Bake for 1 hour. Remove to a rack and let cool for 40 minutes or so before slicing.
  • Slice, serve, and enjoy.

  1. This is the first time my husband made Apple Pie, i love it, very delicious and i eat 2 time a day. Almost empty now. Want Lee to make more. :0

  2. I made this on 13 Oct 2016, and it excellent! I made the pie crust from the shortcut listed. For apples I used 7 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and chopped. I did forget to do one step and that was add the butter to the top of the apples, but it came out great! I use a counter top oven so I had to add another 20 minutes onto the time to bake. Highly recommended.
