Frequently asked questions
＋ − Can I make this pie ahead of time?
Yes, you can make the pie up to 2 days in advance. Store covered at room temperature and reheat slices in the oven before serving for best results.
＋ − What's the best apple variety for this pie?
Granny Smith apples are ideal because they hold their shape well during baking and provide a nice tart contrast to the sweet maple glaze.
＋ − Can I freeze this maple glazed apple pie?
Yes, you can freeze the baked pie for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat in a 350°F oven before serving.
＋ − Why is my maple glaze not caramelizing?
Make sure to brush the glaze on during the last 10 minutes of baking and ensure your oven temperature is accurate. The sugars in the maple syrup need sufficient heat to caramelize properly.

Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Cut in cold butter using a pastry cutter or two knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces. Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until dough just comes together. Divide into two portions, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- 2
In a large bowl, combine sliced apples with granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Toss until apples are evenly coated and let sit for 15 minutes to allow juices to develop.
- 3
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). On a floured surface, roll out one portion of dough to fit a 9-inch pie pan. Transfer to pan and trim edges. Roll out second portion for the top crust.
- 4
Fill the bottom crust with the apple mixture, mounding it slightly in the center. Cover with the top crust and crimp edges to seal. Cut several vents in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- 5
Place pie on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for 35-40 minutes until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbling.
- 6
While pie bakes, whisk together maple syrup, heavy cream, and melted butter. During the last 10 minutes of baking, brush the maple glaze over the top crust. Return to oven to finish baking until glaze is caramelized and golden.
- 7
Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before slicing. This allows the filling to set properly and makes for cleaner slices.
