Classic Apple Pie
This classic apple pie has a sweet filling made from sliced apples, warm spices and brown sugar. With my easy pie crust this is the only apple pie recipe you will need.
Ingredients
- 3 pounds apples I love using honey crisp
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon allspice
- 1 pie crust
- 1 egg
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400.
- Core and slice apples and place into a large bow. You may also peel if you prefer that.
- Add in brown sugar, flour, vanilla extract, lemon juice, salt and spices. Mix to combine.
- Roll out pie crust and place first half into your pie dish.
- Pour apple mixture into prepared pie pan.
- Top apple mixture with the second half of the rolled out dough.
- In a small bowl combine egg and 1 tbsp water. Brush the egg wash mixture on top of the pie crust. This helps to give a nice golden brown color to your pie.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes. If your crust starts to get too brown cover with tin foil to stop the browning process.
- Allow to cool before slicing as this allows all the extra juices to thicken. But to be honest we never can resist cutting into a warm apple pie.
