• Pie crust (I usually just buy them pre-made. One of the frozen deep dish ones for the bottom and one of the ones you roll out for the top. Links are images of what I get.)
• 3 or 4 large apples peeled, cored and sliced
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 1/4 cup light brown sugar (loosely packed)
• 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 large egg lightly beaten (for egg wash)
1. Prepare your pre-made pie crust according to the package instructions, or make your own if you want to. The site where I got this recipe from reccomends this:LINK.
2. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
3. Peel, core and slice your apples, then add them in a bowl with the white and brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Coat the apples evenly in the mixture.
4. Place the apple filling inside of your deep dish pie crust. Discard any extra juices at the bottom of the bowl.
5. Let the top pie crust come to room temperature, and roll it out on a lightly floured surface. Place it on top of the pie, trim any extra dough off the edges, and press the edges together to seal it.
6. Brush the top of the pie with your egg wash. The recipe says to cover the edges with foil here to prevent them from burning, but I never do this and it never comes out burnt for me, so I guess follow my advice at your own risk.
7. Bake at 400°F for 25 minutes. Remove the foil if you added it, then turn the oven down to 375°F and continue baking for an additional 30-35 minutes until the top is golden brown. Allow it to cool for at least 3 hours.
• This recipe is from littlespoonfarm.com and is rewritten by me but almost completely unchanged. This post serves as an archive of the recipe for my personal use and convinience and isn't intending to steal or take credit for it.
• Here's aLINK to this recipe in particular. Their website is full of very yummy looking food, and while I haven't tried any of their other recipes, this pie is pretty good so i'd say they're worth giving a shot.
• The original recipe makes enough filling for two pies, which always confused me, because it only calls for enough crust for one pie, and I always forgot that and either made double the filling by mistake or some of the quantities for ingredients ended up being really off. I halved all the ingredients when writing this, so the quantities listed above only make enough filling for one pie. Feel free to double it if you need two pies.
• The apple pie is the one on the left! The one on the right is a butterscotch cinnamon pie, which I have the recipe for here:Recipe.
• The reason why there's so much juice coming out of it is that I ran into that problem I talked about above where I forgot to half the ingrdients, I somehow managed to Only half the amount of apples, so it had double the sugar and spices it needed. It still tasted good (duh it's apple pie) but the filling was Soggy. actually like half of the reason I made a recipes page was so I could write down the correct amounts for this specific recipe because I would mess it up a little every single time.
