If you’re searching for the perfect Autumn sweet treat, look no further than this delicious Apple Pie recipe. This classic dessert is an all-time favorite, and it’s no wonder why with its sweet cinnamon aroma and perfectly cooked apples wrapped up in a flaky crust.
To get started, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and gather your ingredients. For the crust, you’ll need 1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp granulated sugar, 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold and cubed), and 3-4 tbsp ice-cold water. For the filling, you’ll need 6 cups sliced and peeled apples, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 tbsp all-purpose flour, 2 tsp ground cinnamon, 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg, 1/4 tsp salt, and 2 tbsp unsalted butter (cubed).
To make the crust, combine the flour, salt, and sugar in a food processor and pulse until well combined. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add the water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together in a ball. Flatten the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix until well coated. Roll out the chilled dough into a 12-inch circle and carefully transfer it to a 9-inch pie dish. Trim the edges of the dough and crimp as desired. Pour the apple mixture into the crust and dot with the cubed butter.
Bake the Apple Pie for 45-50 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Allow the pie to cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
And there you have it, a delicious and easy Apple Pie recipe that’s perfect for your next gathering or solo indulgence. Enjoy with a dollop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra treat.
But if you’re looking for a twist on this classic recipe, why not try adding some pecans or swapping out the cinnamon for some cardamom? The possibilities are endless with this versatile dessert.
So gather your ingredients and hit the kitchen for some Autumn baking fun. Your friends and family will thank you for it!
