Simple Tasty Apple Pie Recipes

Steps:

• Place a baking sheet in the oven, then preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
• Peel the Golden Delicious and Gala apples, then slice into ⅛-inch (3 mm) thick wedges. Transfer to a large bowl.
• Add the brown sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt to the bowl with the apples and mix until the apples are well coated.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out a pie dough round to a 10-inch (25 cm) circle. Roll the dough around the rolling pin, brushing off any excess flour, then unroll into a 9-inch (24 cm) pie dish, making sure the dough is centered. Fill with the apple mixture. Refrigerate while you prepare the top crust.
• Roll out the remaining pie dough round to a 12-inch (30 cm) circle. Cut out 6 1-inch (2.54 cm) strips and 8 ½-inch (21 cm) strips.
• Lay the longest 1-inch (2.54 cm) strip vertically over the center of the pie, then 2 more 1-inch (2.54 cm) strips on either side. Place 2 ½-inch (6.5 cm) strips between each set of 1-inch (2.54 cm) strips. Fold back the 1-inch (2.54 cm) strips and place another 1-inch (2.54 cm) strip horizontally across the pie about ⅓ of the way down. Fold the vertical 1-inch (2.54 cm) strips back down. Continue adding the remaining ½-inch (1.24 cm) and 1-inch (2.54 cm) strips to create a lattice top.
• Roll the excess dough around the edges inward toward the pie, tucking the ends in. Use your index finger on one hand and thumb and index finger on the other hand to crimp the edge. Brush off any excess flour, then brush the egg wash all over the dough. Sprinkle the raw sugar on top.
• Brush the pie with the egg wash and sprinkle with the raw sugar. Cut four slits in the top of the pie to create a vent.
• Carefully remove the hot baking sheet from the oven and place the pie dish on top, then return to the oven and bake for 40 minutes, covering with foil halfway through, until the crust is golden brown and the juices are bubbling.
• Let the pie cool completely before slicing and serving.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Place bottom crust in pan. Add apples, sprinkle with sugar and nutmeg. Top with butter, place top crust over and vent with a few holes poked in pastry top. Bake 375 degrees for one hour.

Steps:

• In a medium-sized bowl, add the flour and salt. Mix with fork until combined.
• Add in cubed butter and break up into flour with a fork. Mixture will still have lumps about the size of small peas.
• Gradually add the ice water and continue to mix until the dough starts to come together. You may not need all of the water, but if the dough is too dry then add more. The dough should not be very tacky or sticky.
• Work the dough together with your hands and turn out onto a surface. Work into a ball and cover with cling wrap. Refrigerate.
• Peel the apples, then core and slice.
• In a bowl, add the sliced apples, sugar, flour, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and juice from the lemon.
• Mix until combined and all apples are coated. Refrigerate.
• Preheat the oven to 375°F (200°C).
• On a floured surface, cut the pie dough in half and roll out both halves until round and about ⅛-inch (3 mm) thick.
• Roll the dough around the rolling pin and unroll onto a pie dish making sure the dough reaches all edges. Trim extra if necessary.
• Pour in apple filling mixture and pat down.
• Roll the other half of the dough on top.
• Trim the extra dough from the edges and pinch the edges to create a crimp. Make sure edges are sealed together.
• Brush the pie with the beaten egg and sprinkle with the sugar.
• Cut four slits in the top of the pie to create a vent.
• Bake pie for 50-60 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and no greyish or undercooked pastry remains.
• Allow to cool completely before slicing.
• Top with ice cream and serve.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• FOR CRUST:.
• In a medium to large sized bowl, mix together flour and salt.
• Cut in butter with a pastry blender, until you have oatmeal-sized pieces of butter.
• Slowly add water, little amounts at a time (you do not want to add too much) and toss with fork until dough starts to come together.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough. (This recipe makes the top and bottom crust, divide dough in half before rolling.).
• Put one crust in the pie pan, set the other aside.
• FOR FILLING:.
• Preheat oven 450°F, after 5 minutes of preheating, pre-bake the bottom pie shell 1-2 minutes.
• Cut apples and sprinkle with lemon juice (optional), set aside in a medium/large sized bowl.
• In another bowl, mix sugars, spices and 2 tbsp flour. Reserve 2-3 tbsp of mixture in a separate bowl.
• Toss apples in mixture, and arrange in pie pan (dome shape works well). Sprinkle 1 tsp flour, then with reserved mixture.
• Dot with butter, and cover with second crust. Seal/flute edges and slit steam vents.
• Bake for 10 minutes at 450°F, then rotate pie and bake 30-35 minutes at 350°F Enjoy!
