Let’s talk about apple pie. There’s nothing quite like the smell of warm cinnamon and baked apples wafting through the air. And when it comes to apple pie, nothing compares to Grandma’s recipe. In this post, we’re going to share with you two variations of Grandma’s recipe that will have your taste buds singing.
First up, we have a recipe courtesy of Our Kitchen Island. This pie is a classic and will have you feeling nostalgic in no time. To start, preheat your oven to 375 degrees. You’ll need the following ingredients:
– 1 unbaked pie crust
– 6 cups thinly sliced apples (Granny Smith apples work best)
– 3/4 cup white sugar
– 2 tablespoons flour
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1 teaspoon cinnamon
– 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
– 1/4 teaspoon allspice
– 2 tablespoons butter, chopped into small pieces
Roll out your pie crust and lay it in your pie dish. In a large mixing bowl, combine your sliced apples, white sugar, flour, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice. Mix everything together well and pour it into your pie dish. Then, dot the top of your filling with the chopped pieces of butter. Roll out another pie crust and lay it on top of your filling. Trim off any excess crust, use your fingertips or a fork to crimp the edges, and then cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape. Bake for 45-55 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. Serve warm with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Next up, we have a recipe from This Homemade Heaven that takes Grandma’s recipe to the next level. If you’re feeling adventurous and want to kick things up a notch, try adding caramel to your apple pie. To start, preheat your oven to 350 degrees. You’ll need the following ingredients:
– 1 unbaked pie crust
– 6 cups thinly sliced apples (again, Granny Smith is best)
– 1/2 cup caramel sauce (you can use store bought or make your own)
– 3/4 cup white sugar
– 2 tablespoons flour
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1 teaspoon cinnamon
– 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
– 1/4 teaspoon allspice
– 2 tablespoons butter, chopped into small pieces
Roll out your pie crust and lay it in your pie dish. In a large mixing bowl, combine your sliced apples, caramel sauce, white sugar, flour, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice. Mix everything together well and pour it into your pie dish. Then, dot the top of your filling with the chopped pieces of butter. Roll out another pie crust and lay it on top of your filling. Trim off any excess crust, use your fingertips or a fork to crimp the edges, and then cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape. Bake for 45-55 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. Let your pie cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve with a drizzle of caramel sauce on top.
