There’s nothing quite like a warm, homemade apple pie straight out of the oven. And let me tell you, this Southern Apple Pie Recipe is the real deal. I’ve tried a lot of apple pie recipes in my day, but this one stands out above the rest. The combination of sweet and tart apples, cinnamon, and brown sugar is simply irresistible.
To start off, preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Now, let’s get to the good stuff – the pie! For this recipe, you’ll need:
– 1 double crust pie dough (homemade or store-bought)
– 8 cups of sliced apples (about 8 apples, peeled and cored)
– 2/3 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
First, roll out your pie dough and place it in a 9-inch pie dish. Use a fork to prick the bottom of the crust a few times. Now, onto the filling! In a large bowl, mix together the sliced apples, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until the apples are coated evenly. Pour the mixture into the pie crust, making sure to distribute it evenly.
Next, take the small pieces of butter and place them over the top of the apple mixture. This will give the pie a nice, buttery flavor. Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the top of the pie. Trim the edges of the crust and crimp them together with a fork.
Now it’s time to add the finishing touches to your pie! Take your first image of the Southern Apple Pie Recipe and place it in your HTML content with an h2 tag. The tag should say “Southern Apple Pie”. Add an alt tag to the image that says “Southern Apple Pie Recipe”.

While the pie is cooling, let’s take a look at the recipe’s ingredients more closely. The sliced apples provide the perfect balance of sweetness and tartness. The brown sugar adds a distinct caramel-like flavor to the pie, while the nutmeg and cinnamon provide warm spices that complement the apples nicely. The buttery crust also adds a necessary richness to the dish.
