Simply Apple Pie Recipe #379884
This is a very basic apple pie recipe that I threw together. I love the different flavors of more complex recipes, but often times I just want a pie, and only a pie. Hopefully this will help your need for quick simplicity as well!
1 hour | 15 min prep
SERVES 8 , 1 Pie
Filling
- 6 apples
- 3 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Crust
Garnish
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- Wash apples and cut into 1/8 slices.
- Cover and simmer in a medium sauce pan for 10 minutes with 2 tbsp of water over medium heat.
- Dissolve 1 tsp of cornstarch with 1 tbsp of water.
- Add the cornstarch mixture to the apple slices with the sugar and cinnamon. Stir over heat for 5 more minutes, until sugar is dissolved and the liquid is thickened and bubbly. Set aside.
- For the crust, in a large bowl mix together flour and salt.
- Cut in the butter, mixing well with a fork until crumbs form (don't use a spoon, it won't turn out as well).
- Add the water, one tbsp at a time until the crumbs start forming together.
- Turn ontil a lightly floured surface and shape the dough into two balls. Roll each ball out into a circle, about 10-12 inches.
- Press one of the circles into a 9 inch pie pan, add the filling, and place the second dough circle on top, pinching and trimming the edges to seal.
- Cut 2-4 slits around the middle of the pie to vent, and sprinkle the sugar on top to garnish. Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F for 45 minutes, or until crust is golden brown.
