Perfect Easy Apple Pie Recipe

I’ve been on a serious summer pie kick lately!

Although, to be honest, apple pies are pretty much terrific no matter what time of year it is!

I love a good apple pie at a summer picnic and at Thanksgiving dinner.

Hands down, apple pie has to be my absolute favorite indulgence when it comes to dessert.

But only a good apple pie will do. You know what I’m talking about! I’m not interested in some mediocre recipe. Oh no!

If you’re up for a seriously delicious and classically simple apple pie recipe, look no further.

Ingredients for Easy Apple Pie Recipe:

Crust

• 1 box (14.1 ounces) Pillsbury refrigerated pie crusts, softened as directed on box (because a lot of us don’t have time to make a crust from scratch and still want a great tasting crust)

Filling

• 6 cups thinly sliced, peeled apples (6 medium) (I prefer Granny Smith apples)
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions:

Step 1: Heat oven to 425 degree F.

Step 2: Place 1 pie crust in ungreased 9-inch glass pie plate. Press firmly against side and bottom.

Step 3: In large bowl, gently mix filling ingredients; spoon into crust-lined pie plate.

Step 4: Top with second crust.

Step 5: Wrap excess top crust under bottom crust edge, pressing edges together to seal; flute.

Step 6: Cut slits or shapes in several places in top crust.

Step 7: Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until apples are tender and crust is golden brown.

Step 8: Cover edge of crust with 2- to 3-inch-wide strips of foil after first 15 to 20 minutes of baking to prevent excessive browning.

Step 9: Cool on cooling rack at least 2 hours before serving.

Tip: Two cans (21 ounces each) apple pie filling can be substituted for the filling if you’re pressed for time.
