First up, we have a Homemade Apple Pie Recipe from Land O’Lakes. This classic recipe features a flaky crust, sweet apples, and warm spices. To start, preheat your oven to 425°F. Next, prepare your crust by combining flour, salt, shortening, and butter. Once your crust is ready, roll it out and place it in your pie dish. In a separate bowl, combine apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Pour the apple mixture into your crust and dot with butter. Cover with a top crust and cut slits to allow steam to escape. Bake for 40-50 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
Next, we have a unique twist on a classic with the Cherry Apple Pie Recipe also from Land O’Lakes. This recipe adds tart cherries to the mix for a delicious burst of flavor. Repeat the same crust making process from the first recipe. In a separate bowl, combine apples, cherries, sugar, flour, and almond extract. Pour the mixture into your crust and dot with butter. Cover with a top crust and cut slits before baking for 40-50 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
