pampered chef apple pie recipe

Alright folks, strap in because we’re talking PIE today! Specifically, homestyle apple pie and mini apple pies. But not just any recipe, oh no. We’re bringing in the big guns with some Pampered Chef magic to make these babies extra delicious.

Homestyle Apple Pie

First up, we’ve got a classic homestyle apple pie. And let me tell you, this recipe is nothing short of perfection. But don’t just take my word for it, try it out for yourself.

Ingredients:

• 1 refrigerated pie crust (or homemade if you’re feeling fancy)
• 6 cups thinly sliced peeled apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work great)
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
• 1 egg, beaten

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Roll out the pie crust and place it into a 9-inch pie dish. Crimp the edges if you’re feeling fancy (which you should be).
3. In a large bowl, combine the apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Toss until the apples are evenly coated.
4. Pour the apple mixture into the prepared crust. Dot the top with pieces of butter.
5. Roll out the second pie crust and cut into strips. Use the strips to create a lattice pattern on top of the pie.
6. Brush the top of the pie with the beaten egg.
7. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
8. Cool the pie completely before slicing and serving. Or don’t, I’m not your boss.

Mini Apple Pies

Now, I know what you’re thinking. “But wait, I don’t want to make a whole pie! I just want a bite-sized treat.” Well my friend, have no fear because these mini apple pies are here to save the day. And the best part? They’re made in a Pampered Chef Brownie Pan, because everything is cuter in miniature form.

Ingredients:

• 1 refrigerated pie crust
• 2 cups thinly sliced peeled apples
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
• 1 egg, beaten

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Roll out the pie crust and use a round cookie cutter to cut out 12 circles. Place each circle into a well of the brownie pan, pressing down slightly to create a crust.
3. In a bowl, combine the apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon, salt, and lemon juice. Toss until the apples are evenly coated.
4. Divide the apple mixture evenly among the 12 wells of the brownie pan. Dot the top with pieces of butter.
5. Roll out the remaining pie crust and cut into strips. Use the strips to create a lattice pattern on top of each mini pie.
6. Brush the top of the pies with the beaten egg.
7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
8. Cool the pies completely before removing from the pan and serving. Or don’t, I won’t judge.

And there you have it folks, two delicious ways to enjoy apple pie. Whether you go classic or miniature, you can’t go wrong with a recipe from Pampered Chef. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have some pie to eat.
