Classic Two Crust Apple Pie
By: sugarpea
Oct 1, 2003
Sometimes simple is better. To my taste buds this applies to apple pie. There is nothing in this pie to overpower or detract from the apples. The best pie apples are ones you probably wouldn't pick to eat out-of-hand. For most people, they're too tart and too hard. Use those for your pies. Prep time does not include making pie crust.
SERVES 6 , 1 9inch pie
Ingredients
- 6 cups firmly textured tart apples
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 dash nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 (9 inch) pie crusts
Directions
1
Preheat oven to 425°F.2
Peel, core and thinly and thickly slice the apples; toss with lemon juice if using.3
Combine and mix apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg; pour into crust-lined pie plate; dot with butter.4
Place top crust, seal and vent; cover edges of crust with narrow band of aluminum foil, shiny side out.5
Bake at 425°F for 20 minutes; reduce temperature to 375°F and bake another 30-40 minutes until filling is bubbling and crust is nicely browned.6
If necessary remove foil last 10 minutes to brown edges.

This pie was awesome! I made this for Thanksgiving, and it turned out beautifully. I added a little more cinnamon than called for, simply because we enjoy it. It was served warm out of the oven with whpped cream to our guests and got rave reviews. Thanks for posting!

Perfect Pie! Thank you for a keeper. It was easy and looked so beautiful too. I let the apples sit in the fridge cut up with lemon juice on them for about an hour. It made the pie extra fresh tasting.

Sugarpea - this was delicious and so simple! My husband says thank you! I only did a thing or two differently. First of all, I added a Tbs of cinnimon because my husband LOVES cinnamon. I also brushed the crust with a little bit of milk and sprinkled cinnamon sugar on the top. I used crust Pie Crust and made the Butter Crust. 4-5 Granny Smith Apples worked perfectly for this pie. Thanks for sharing this simple and tasty recipe!
