Here’s a classic, cozy apple pie recipe with a flaky crust and perfectly spiced filling:
🥧 Apple Pie (Homemade Classic)
🧾 Ingredients:
For the crust:
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cold butter (cubed)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 6–8 tbsp ice water
For the filling:
- 5–6 apples (peeled, sliced)
- ¾ cup sugar (adjust to taste)
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp nutmeg
- 2 tbsp flour (or cornstarch)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
👩🍳 Instructions:
- Make the dough
Mix flour, salt, and sugar. Cut in cold butter until crumbly. Add ice water gradually until dough comes together. Divide into two discs, wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes. - Prepare the filling
In a bowl, combine sliced apples with sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg, flour, lemon juice, and vanilla. - Roll out crust
Roll one dough disc and place it into a pie dish. Add the apple filling evenly. - Top layer
Roll out the second dough and place over the top (full crust or lattice). Seal and crimp edges. Cut small slits for steam. - Bake
Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F). Bake for 45–55 minutes, until golden and bubbly. - Cool before serving
Let it rest at least 1–2 hours so the filling sets.
🍽️ Serving Ideas:
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream
- Drizzle with caramel sauce
- Dust with powdered sugar
🔥 Tips:
- Mix different apple types for better flavor
- Keep butter cold for a flaky crust
- Cover edges with foil if they brown too fast
If you want, I can give you a no-bake apple dessert, mini apple pies, or a quick shortcut version 🍎
