There's nothing better than the smell of the fresh apple pie baking in the oven. It signifies the start of cozy fall days, and it's the ultimate dessert to kick off the season. This recipe uses Betty's pie crust mix so you can skip chilling your pastry dough and get right to the baking part-meaning less time waiting around for pie and more time eating it! Apple pie is best served warm with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Use a combination of tart and sweet apples for the best flavor. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn are all good choices.
  • Peel and slice the apples thinly: This will help them cook evenly. If you don't have a mandoline, use a sharp knife.
  • Toss the apples with sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg: This will help to flavor the apples and prevent them from browning.
  • Use a deep-dish pie plate: This will help to prevent the pie from overflowing.
  • Brush the edges of the pie crust with egg wash: This will help to seal the crust and prevent it from cracking.
  • Bake the pie at a high temperature for the first 15 minutes: This will help to create a crispy crust. Then, reduce the temperature and continue baking until the filling is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
  • Let the pie cool for at least 1 hour before serving: This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld.
