Classic Apple Pie Recipe 🥧

This Classic Apple Pie recipe is perfect for fall and holiday gatherings, and is sure to become a family favorite. Follow these simple steps to create a warm and delicious homemade apple pie.

Ingredients:

• 1 double pie crust recipe (store-bought or homemade)
• 6-7 cups thinly sliced and peeled apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp works well)
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• Egg wash (1 large egg beaten with 1 tablespoon milk or water)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Roll out half of the pie crust dough and place it into a 9-inch pie plate.
3. In a large bowl, mix together the sliced apples, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
4. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat and add the apple mixture. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Stir in the flour and lemon juice and cook for another 2 minutes.
6. Pour the apple mixture into the prepared pie crust and dot with butter.
7. Roll out the remaining pie crust dough and cut into strips. Create a lattice pattern on top of the apple filling, or simply place the entire dough over the filling and cut several slits in the top to vent the steam.
8. Brush the top with the egg wash mixture.
9. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
10. Allow the pie to cool for at least 1 hour before slicing and serving.
