Oh, how we love a good apple pie. There’s something so comforting about the smell of cinnamon and apples wafting through the house. And when it comes to apple pie, we’re always looking for ways to mix things up. That’s why we’re excited to share with you our latest recipe: Open Face Apple Pie!
This Pie is a Convertible!
What do we mean by that? Well, for starters, it’s open face. Instead of a top crust, the filling is exposed, allowing you to see all the glorious layers of sliced apples and brown sugar. It’s also a great dessert for those who don’t like a lot of crust. And if you’re feeling extra fancy, you can always top it off with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
The Recipe
But enough chit chat, let’s get to the recipe. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 pie crust (either homemade or store-bought)
- 4 cups thinly sliced apples
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
And here’s how to make it:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. Prep your pie crust by rolling it out into a 9-inch circle and placing it in a pie dish.
- In a large bowl, mix together the sliced apples, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until everything is well combined.
- Dump the apple mixture into the prepared pie crust and spread it out evenly. Dot the top with small pieces of butter.
- Bake the pie for 45-50 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Allow the pie to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
