My Mom’s Delicious Apple Pie


Apple pie is a classic dessert that many people love. My mom used to make this pie all the time, and it was always delicious! The sweet and tangy apples, along with the flaky crust, made it a favorite in our home. In this article, I will share my mom’s apple pie recipe with you so you can enjoy it too.

Why Make This Recipe

There are so many reasons to make this apple pie! First, it brings back sweet memories of family time and warmth. Second, it is easy to make with just a few ingredients. Finally, homemade apple pie is much tastier than store-bought. Plus, everyone who tries it will be amazed!

How to Make Apple Pie

Ingredients:

  • 6 to 8 apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp are great choices)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 package pie crust (store-bought or homemade)

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Start by peeling and slicing the apples into thin pieces.
  3. In a large bowl, mix the sliced apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Stir until the apples are well coated.
  4. Roll out one pie crust and place it in a 9-inch pie pan.
  5. Pour the apple mixture into the crust. Dot the top with small pieces of butter.
  6. Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the apple filling. Seal the edges by crimping with your fingers or a fork.
  7. Cut a few small slits in the top crust for steam to escape.
  8. Bake the pie in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
  9. Let the pie cool for a bit before serving.

How to Serve Apple Pie

Apple pie is best served warm. You can enjoy it on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. A drizzle of caramel sauce also adds a tasty touch. Serve it at family gatherings, holidays, or anytime you want a delicious dessert.

How to Store Apple Pie

If you have leftovers (which is rare!), store the pie in the refrigerator. Cover it with plastic wrap or aluminum foil to keep it fresh. It will last for about 3-4 days. You can also freeze apple pie for up to 3 months. Just make sure to wrap it well.

Tips to Make Apple Pie

  • Use a mix of sweet and tart apples for the best flavor.
  • Don’t skip the lemon juice; it balances the sweetness of the apples.
  • If the edges of the crust brown too quickly, cover them with foil to prevent burning.

Variation

You can change the recipe by adding other ingredients like raisins or nuts. Some people like to sprinkle oats on top for a crumble effect. You can also use different spices like nutmeg or ginger to add a new twist.

FAQs
