Apple Pie Recipe #1: The Best Apple Pie Recipe

First up, we have “The Best Apple Pie Recipe” from Food Network Kitchen. And let me tell you, this pie lives up to its name.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup water

• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 1 pinch white sugar

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
2. Melt the butter in a saucepan. Stir in flour to form a paste. Add water, white sugar and brown sugar, and bring to a boil. Reduce temperature and let simmer.
3. Place one pie crust in a nine-inch pie dish. Fill with sliced apples. Sprinkle cinnamon and nutmeg on top.
4. Pour sugar and butter mixture on top of the apples. Cover with top crust, seal edges, and cut away excess dough. Make several small slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
5. Brush the top crust with milk and sprinkle with a pinch of white sugar.
6. Bake 15 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue baking for 35 to 45 minutes.
