Let me tell y’all about the most amazing apple pie I have ever tasted. It’s the kind of pie that will make you want to dance a little jig in your kitchen. And trust me, I am not exaggerating one bit.
First things first, let’s talk about how gorgeous this pie is. I mean, just look at those golden brown apples peeking out from under that perfectly flaky crust! It’s almost too pretty to eat. Almost.
Now, let’s get down to the nitty gritty of how to make this bad boy. But before we start, let me just warn you that this recipe requires a food processor. If you don’t have one, it’s time to invest in one because the end result is so worth it.
Ingredients:
– 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 tsp salt
– 1 tsp sugar
– 1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into cubes
– 1/4 to 1/2 cup ice water
– 8 cups apples, sliced
– 1/2 cup sugar
– 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
– 1 tsp cinnamon
– 1/4 tsp nutmeg
– 2 tbsp unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
Instructions:
1. In a food processor, pulse together the flour, salt, and sugar until combined.
2. Add the cubes of butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Gradually add the ice water until the dough comes together in a ball.
4. Divide the dough in half and flatten into disks. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes.
5. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
6. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
7. Roll out one disk of dough on a floured surface and transfer to a 9-inch pie dish.
8. Pour the apple mixture into the pie crust and dot with the small pieces of butter.
9. Roll out the other disk of dough and place on top of the apple mixture.
10. Trim the edges and crimp with a fork.
11. Cut a few slits in the top of the pie to allow for steam to escape.
12. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Now, let’s talk about the best part of the recipe, the taste! The combination of the sweet and tart apples, the warm spices, and the buttery crust is truly out of this world. And if you want to really take it up a notch, serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
I hope y’all give this amazing apple pie recipe a try. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you.
