Apple pie is a dessert that is enjoyed by many people, and it is no wonder why. This delicious pastry is a combination of sweet and tangy flavors that are sure to satisfy any sweet tooth you may have. Today, I am excited to share with you two different ultimate apple pie recipes that will leave your taste buds wanting more.
First up is the Ultimate Apple Pie Recipe. To make this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:
– 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
– 1 tsp salt
– 1 tsp sugar
– 1/2 cup ice water
– 8 cups thinly sliced, peeled and cored apples
– 1/2 cup white sugar
– 1/2 cup brown sugar
– 1 tsp cinnamon
– 1/4 tsp nutmeg
– 1/4 tsp salt
– 2 tbsp unsalted butter
To start, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and sugar. Mix well. Add the cubed butter and use a pastry blender to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add the ice water and mix until the dough comes together. Divide the dough in half and roll out each half to fit a 9-inch pie plate.
In another bowl, combine the sliced apples, white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix well. Pour the apple mixture into the prepared pie crust. Dot the top of the apple mixture with the 2 tbsp of unsalted butter. Cover the apple mixture with the second pie crust. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
Bake the pie for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Let the pie cool for at least 1 hour before serving.
