OLD-FASHIONED APPLE PIE



Old-Fashioned Apple Pie image

The words "apple pie" conjure warmth, aroma, taste, and togetherness. This apple pie recipe is filled with Granny Smith apples and is tucked into a buttery pie crust. To make this apple pie recipe even sweeter, serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Pie & Tarts Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
Pate Brisee (Pie Dough)
12 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
3/4 cup sugar, plus additional for pie top
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
Pinch ground cloves
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large egg, beaten

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. On a lightly floured surface, roll out pate brisee into two 1/8-inch-thick circles to a diameter slightly larger than that of an 11-inch plate. Press one pastry circle into the pie plate. Place the other circle on waxed paper, and cover with plastic wrap. Chill all pastry until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, combine apples, sugar, lemon zest and juice, spices, and flour. Toss well. Spoon apples into pie pan. Dot with butter, and cover with remaining pastry circle. Cut several steam vents across top. Seal by crimping edges as desired. Brush with beaten egg, and sprinkle with additional sugar.
  • Bake until crust is brown and juices are bubbling, about 1 hour. Let cool on wire rack before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Use a combination of tart and sweet apples for the best flavor. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Pink Lady.
  • Peel and slice the apples thinly: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overfill the pie crust: Leave some room for the apples to expand as they cook.
  • Brush the top crust with milk or egg wash: This will help it brown and give it a nice shine.
  • Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling: This usually takes about 45 minutes to an hour.
  • Let the pie cool for at least 30 minutes before serving: This will give the filling time to set.

Conclusion:

This classic apple pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its flaky crust and sweet-tart filling, it's sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give this old-fashioned apple pie a try. You won't be disappointed!
