Instructions for Making Apple Pie Recipe:

Step 1: Prepare the Pie Crust

• Combine Dry Ingredients:

Melt as much of the butter into 2 ½ cups of all purpose flour using a large whisk and add 1 tablespoon of sugar and ½ teaspoon of salt. This will be the base on your crust.

• Add Cold Butter:

  

To the dry ingredients, add in 1 cup of cold, diced unsalted butter. Blend the butter in the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingers until smooth, course crumbs or pea sized. To achieve a flaky texture the butter should stay cold.

• Add Ice Water

  

Mix in 6 – 8 tablespoons (a table fop at a time) of ice water, gradually, with a fork, until the dough comes together. Remember not to not overwork the dough or the crust will be tough.

• Form the Dough:

Knead divide and dough 2 portions together. Cut into portions and shape each into a disc, wrap up in plastic wrap, and stick them in the fridge for at least 1 hour to chill the dough. That prevents shrinking in the butter when baked, and helps the butter firm up.

Step 2: Prepare Apple Pie Filling Recipe​

• Peel, Core, and Slice Apples:

Peeling and coring 6-8 medium apples(for apple pie recipe making), slice these into uniform slices. Because Granny Smith is tart and Honeycrisp or Fuji is sweet, it balances out your filling.

• Mix the Filling:

Mix together ½ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup brown sugar, 2 teaspoons all purpose flour, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ¼ teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon lemon juice and add to a large bowl. Mix up the ingredients with the apples slightly coated and the sugars dissolved. Gently let the mixture ‘sit’ for about 10 minutes to allow the apples to release a little of their juices.

Step 3: Assemble the Pie

• Preheat the Oven:

Put your oven to 425°F (220°C). Equally this high temperature helps the crust bake evenly and become golden.

• Roll Out the Dough:

Make a 9-inch pie dish cut out using one chilled dough disc on a lightly floured surface and roll to fit. Roll the dough out until it’s about 1/8-inch thick, then slot it into the pie dish, letting the bottom and the sides press into the dish gently.

• Fill the Pie:

Place the apple filling into the pie crust until it’s spread evenly. With 2 tablespoons of diced unsalted butter dot the filling, but do not bake it.

• Top the Pie:

Place over the apple filling and roll out the second disc of dough. Trim any excess dough off of the top and bottom of the crust edges, then fold the top and bottom edges together and crimp them — creating a seal for the pie. Make several slits in the top crust with your sharp knife so you can poke steam out while baking.

Step 4: Bake the Pie

• Bake at High Temperature:

Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 15 minutes, place pie on a baking sheet (to catch any drips). After 15 minutes, turn down your oven temp to 375°F (190°C) and cook until cock comes out easily, 40-50 minutes. They should be golden brown on the top and the filling bubbled up.

• Check for Doneness:

The crust will also begin to brown too quickly and throughout the edges may burn if it does. Simply cover the edges with foil to tame any burning. When both the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling through the slits in the top crust, it’s the pie is done.

Step 5: Cool and Serve

• Cool the Pie:

Cool pie on a wire rack for 2 hours remove from the oven. This helps with the setting of the filling so it slicing is a breeze.

• Serve:

This apple pie recipe can heat warmed or served at area temperature. Enjoy it as is, top with vanilla ice cream, whip cream or whatever you wish!
Freedom from the cravings of the larger apple pie recipe, but comforting, flavorful and great for any occasion.

Roll out the dough to 11 inch round and transfer the rolled dough to pie dish, pressing into shape and trimming excess dough, leaving about an inch overhang.

• Assemble the Pie:

Pour evenly the apple filling into prepared bottom crust. Add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and dot the apple filling with small pieces of 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Taking the second disc of dough and rolling out, place it over top of the apple filling. Edge trim, seal and crim. Slice a slit in the top of the container where steam may escape.
