The Perfect Apple Pie Recipe

First up, we have a recipe that will leave you wondering why you ever bought store-bought apple pie. This recipe comes from YumMakers, and it’s the perfect way to make apple pie, no matter what the occasion.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
• 1/4 to 1/2 cup ice water
• 8 cups thinly sliced, peeled, and cored apples
• 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Add the butter, and use a pastry blender to cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2. Gradually add the ice water, tossing the mixture with a fork until it comes together in a ball.
3. Divide the dough in half, and wrap each half in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
4. In a large bowl, toss the apples with the lemon juice. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Pour the mixture over the apples, and toss to coat evenly.
5. Preheat the oven to 375°F. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one of the dough halves into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a 9-inch pie plate, and trim the edges.
6. Pour the apple mixture into the crust, and dot with the butter. Roll out the second dough half into another 12-inch circle. Drape it over the filling, and trim the edges.
7. Using your fingers, press the two crusts together, and fold the edges under. Cut slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
8. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
