Ingredients

  • 6-7 Honeycrisp Apples
  • 2 9" pie crusts
  • 1 tick butter
  • 2 tbsp apple pie spice see note below
  • ¼ cup all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup water
Homemade Apple Pie Spice
  • 1 ½ tbsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp nutmeg
  • ¼ tsp allspice
  • ¼ tsp ground ginger

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Allow pre-made pie crust to come to room temperature.  Preheat the oven to 350°F. 
  2. I use a Apple Corer Slicer for this step as it's the most efficient. Wash the apples prior to running through the Apple Corer Slicer. If you do not have it, wash, peel and remove the cores from the apples. Slice all of the apples into thin rings, about ⅛” inch thick.
  3. Layer in one of the premade pie crusts into your pie dish. You'll need to confirm with your instructions whether or not to grease the pan.
  4. Place apple slices into pie crust, arranging in a circle and building in a pyramid-like shape. There are photos in the blog post to show you exactly how this should look if you are confused! 
  5. Roll out the other pie crust on a cutting board. Then, using a pizza cutter, cut ¾” strips.
  6. Create a lattice design by arranging half of the strips vertically and the other half horizontally across the pie.
  7. Next, heat a sauce pot to medium-heat. Melt butter in the pot. Then, whisk in flour. Allow a paste to form while whisking. It should be fragrant.
  8. Add in brown sugar, apple pie spice, vanilla extract, white sugar, brown sugar, and water. Whisk again.
  9. Pour the wet mixture over the entire pie. Use a rubber brush to spread it evenly on top.
  10. Bake the apple pie for 35-45 minutes at 350°F until the crust is golden and apples are cooked. You might want to put the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drippings.
  11. Let the pie cool completely before serving (this allows the filling to firm up).
  12. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or a glass of milk! ENJOY!

Notes

  • Store this apple pie in the refrigerator in the pie dish covered with tinfoil or in an airtight container for up to 5 days. To reheat, toss it in the oven at 350°F. You could also microwave it in 60 second intervals until hot.
  • Slicing your apples into equal sizes is KEY! I used a Apple Corer Slicer to Slice all of the apples into thin rings, about ⅛” inch thick. It's the best way to achieve desired results.  If you don't have one, use a VERY thin knife to carefully slice all of the apples into slices less than ⅛” thick.

  • If the crust starts to burn before the apples are done, don’t panic. The final minutes of baking the pie are crucial, so don’t take it out early. You can line the pie dish with a tinfoil cover to redirect the heat.
  • Let the pie cool BEFORE slicing!
