Take note
Be careful not to burn yourself while working with hot ingredients, and keep an eye on the oven temperature to avoid over-baking the pie.

1

Prepare the Pie Crust

Start by making or preparing your pie crust, whether store-bought or homemade. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface until it's about 1/8-inch thick. Line a pie dish with one of the rolled-out crusts, pressing it gently into the edges.

2

Prepare the Apple Filling

Peel, core, and slice enough apples to fill your pie dish. In a mixing bowl, toss the apple slices with sugar, cinnamon, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Adjust the sweetness and spice level to your liking. Let the mixture sit for about 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

3

Fill the Pie Crust

Transfer the apple filling into the prepared pie dish, creating a mound of deliciousness in the process. Dot the top of the filling with small pieces of butter for extra richness. Be generous!

4

Top it Off with More Pie Crust

Lay the second rolled-out crust over the apple filling. Crimp the edges of the crusts together to seal the pie. Feel free to get creative with your crust design, whether it's a lattice pattern or a simple vented top to release steam.

5

Bake to Perfection

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pie in the oven and let it bake for about 40-45 minutes, or until the crust turns golden brown and the heavenly aroma of apple goodness fills your kitchen.

6

Cool and Enjoy

Once baked, remove the apple pie from the oven and let it cool down for at least 30 minutes. This waiting period helps the filling set, making it easier to slice and serve. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra touch of decadence. Enjoy every mouthwatering bite!
