Delight in this classic apple pie, featuring a flaky crust and a perfectly spiced apple filling—ideal for any occasion.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 20 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 8

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar (light or dark)
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 6 cups sliced apples (mix of Granny Smith and Honeycrisp)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. Cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Gradually add ice-cold water until dough forms. Divide into two discs and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  4. Combine sliced apples with lemon juice, sugars, spices, and cornstarch in a bowl; mix well.
  5. Roll out one disc of dough on a floured surface to fit your pie dish, then transfer it carefully.
  6. Pour the apple filling into the crust and roll out the second disc to cover the top or create decorative cutouts.
  7. Bake for 45-50 minutes until golden brown and bubbly; cool slightly before slicing.

Notes

  • Use a mix of tart and sweet apples for balanced flavor.
  • Pre-bake your crust for about 10 minutes if you prefer an extra crispy texture.
  •  Allow the pie to cool before serving to achieve clean slices
