Oh my, have you tried baking a warm and cozy apple pie yet? The sweet aroma of cinnamon and honeycrisp apples will definitely bring comfort to your home. Let me share with you a recipe for a scrumptious Cinnamon Honeycrisp Apple Pie that will surely delight your taste buds.
Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, chilled and diced
- 1/2 cup ice water
- 8 cups thinly sliced honeycrisp apples
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup flour
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 tablespoon coarse sugar
Instructions:
Let’s start by preparing the crust.
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, and salt.
- Add in the diced butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add ice water, a tablespoon at a time, until the mixture forms into a ball.
- Divide the dough into two halves and flatten into disks. Wrap each disk with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour.
While the dough is chilling, let’s prepare the apple filling.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- In a large bowl, mix together the sliced honeycrisp apples, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until the apples are coated.
- In a small saucepan, melt the honey and unsalted butter together.
- Pour the honey mixture over the apple mixture and stir well.
Let’s assemble the pie.
- Take one of the chilled dough disks and roll it out onto a lightly floured surface until it is about 1/8 inch thick and large enough to cover the bottom and sides of your pie dish.
- Place the rolled-out dough onto the pie dish and press it down gently.
- Add in the apple filling.
- Roll out the second chilled dough disk and cut it into strips or any decorative shape of your choice.
- Place the strips on top of the apple filling, creating a lattice pattern.
- Brush the beaten egg over the top of the dough and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
- Bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Let the pie cool for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Now, doesn’t that sound easy and delicious? Serve the Cinnamon Honeycrisp Apple Pie with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a cozy, homely dessert that will leave you wanting more. Bon appétit!
