Here’s a classic, easy apple pie recipe 🍎🥧
Perfect if you’re baking at home for the first time or just want something reliable.
Classic Apple Pie
Ingredients
Filling
- 6–7 apples (Granny Smith or any firm apples)
- ¾ cup sugar (use half white + half brown if you like)
- 2 tbsp flour or cornstarch
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp nutmeg (optional)
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp vanilla (optional)
Crust
- 2 pie crusts (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Peel, core, and slice apples.
- In a bowl, mix apples with sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and vanilla.
- Place one pie crust in a pie dish.
- Add apple filling and spread evenly.
- Cover with second crust (seal edges and cut small slits on top).
- Bake 45–55 minutes, until crust is golden and filling is bubbly.
- Cool at least 1 hour before slicing.
Tips
- If the crust browns too fast, cover edges with foil.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or custard.
- Add a little butter (small cubes) on top of filling for extra flavor.
If you want, I can:
- Make it super easy (no top crust)
- Do a crumb/tart-style apple pie
- Help with homemade pie crust
- Adjust it for less sugar
