Apple Pie
This apple pie uses peeled, thinly sliced green apples mixed with butter, flour, sugars, and warm spices to create a thickened, fruity filling. A double pie crust encloses the filling, and a cream-brushed top crust sprinkled with sugar bakes to a golden, slightly crisp finish. Cooling before slicing allows the filling to set.

Ingredients
- 2 pie crust
- 4 tablespoons butter
- ¼ cup flour
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon apple pie spice
- 7 green apple about 7 cups peeled and thinly sliced, medium-large
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- sugar coarse
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Gently press one pie crust into a 9-inch x 2-inch deep pie dish.
- In a large skillet, saute butter and apples til butter is melted. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute.
- Stir in sugar and brown sugar until dissolved. Bring to a boil and stir til thickened.
- Remove from heat, stir in cinnamon and apple pie spice. Transfer mixture into prepared pie crust.
- Top with second crust (see note!) and pinch edges of the two pie crusts together to seal.
- Brush top crust with heavy cream, then sprinkle generously with sugar (I use coarse sugar but granulated sugar works fine).
- Bake on bottom rack for 25-35 minutes. Allow to cool for at least one hour before slicing and serving.

Notes
- Use a lattice top crust or cut multiple 2-inch slits in the top crust to allow steam to vent and prevent a watery filling.
- Cool the pie for at least one hour before slicing to allow the filling to thicken and set properly.
