Classic Apple Pie


Tis' the season for apple pie, am I right? I like to think this is a specialty dish of mine since I make it all the time from scratch, even the crust! 

Wash, peel and cut about 10-15 Macintosh apples and put them in a large bowl.

Filling:
Add to apples:
  • 1/2 of white sugar
  • 1/4 of brown sugar 
  • 3 tbsp of cinnamon 
  • 1tbsp of nutmeg 
  • 1 tsp of all spice 

Lightly mix. 
Now you can make your own crust or buy one from the store. I like to make my own crust just to say I did everything from scratch! So in case you want to make your own this is what I use.

Pie Crust:
  • 1 1/4 cup of flour
  • 1/4 cup of salt
  • 1/2 cup of butter
  • 1/2 cup of ice water
Combine flour, salt and butter into a bowl until dough is course. Stir in water a tbsp at a time until pie crust is just right! Preheat your oven to 350. Now roll out your pie crust and place in a pie tray. Add in apples and cover with more pie crust. Cut the top of the pie to allow air to escape while cooking. And glaze the top with butter. 

Let bake for about 25-30 minutes. 

Enjoy! 

Tips:

You can let your pie crust sit for 4 hours or you can freeze it if you like.
