Apple Pie Recipe
Description
The recipe uses a prepared pie crust lined in a 9-inch dish and a richly spiced apple filling made by combining brown sugar, all-purpose flour, cinnamon, ground ginger, and nutmeg. Fresh apple slices are coated in lemon juice before mixing with the sugar-spice blend to balance flavor and prevent browning. The pie is assembled with a bottom crust, filled with the apple mixture dotted with butter, then covered with a top crust that is trimmed, sealed, and slitted for steam release.
Applying beaten egg white to the crust surface provides a glossy finish and helps the sugar adhere, enhancing texture. The pie is baked at 375°F initially with the edges covered loosely by foil to prevent over-browning, then uncovered to bake until the crust is golden and the filling bubbles, ensuring a fully cooked interior and crisp exterior.
This pie pairs well with cream or ice cream and can be made easier with store-bought crust, though using homemade crust is a viable option if preferred.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
- 3 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 6-7 cups apple peeled and sliced
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
- inch pie crust for double crust
- 1 Tablespoon butter
- 1 large egg white
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the sugar, flour and spices; set aside. In a large bowl, toss apples with lemon juice. Add sugar mixture; toss to coat.
- Line a 9-inch pie dish with bottom crust; trim even with edge. Fill with apple mixture; dot with butter. Roll remaining crust to fit top of pie; place over filling. Trim, seal and flute edges. Cut slits in crust.
- Beat egg white until foamy; brush over crust. Sprinkle with sugar. Cover edges loosely with foil.
- Bake at 375° for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly, 20-25 minutes longer. Cool on a wire rack.
Notes
- Using store-bought pie crust speeds up preparation but homemade crust can also be used.
