Apple Pie Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 double pie crust recipe
• 6 cups thinly sliced, peeled, and cored apples (about 6 medium apples)
• 3/4 cup of granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoon of all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon of salt
• 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
• 1 large egg, beaten with 1 tablespoon of milk
• Sugar for sprinkling on top

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Make the pie crust, divide it in two disks, wrap them individually in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
3. Peel, core and thinly slice apples and place them in a large bowl.
4. In a small bowl whisk together sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt; pour mixture over the apples and toss to evenly coat them.
5. Roll out one of the disks, place it in the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish, and trim the edges.
6. Add the apples and any juice left in the bowl, and dot with butter.
7. Roll out the second disk, cut into strips, and make a lattice pattern on top of the apples. Trim the edges.
8. Brush the top with the beaten egg and sprinkle with sugar.
9. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
10. Let cool for at least 2 hours before serving.

Verdict:

This apple pie recipe is perfect for any occasion. Its flaky and buttery crust pairs perfectly with the delicious cinnamon-spiced apples. The lattice top adds a beautiful touch to the presentation while letting the filling peek through. This apple pie is perfect served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve the apple pie warm or at room temperature, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream or caramel sauce. Some people prefer to serve apple pie with a slice of cheddar cheese on top.
