Tips:
- Choose the right apples: Use a variety of apples that will hold their shape when baked, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn. Avoid soft apples like Red Delicious, as they will turn to mush when cooked.
- Peel and core the apples thinly: This will help the apples cook evenly. You can use a vegetable peeler or an apple corer to remove the skin and core.
- Slice the apples evenly: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from falling apart. Use a sharp knife to slice the apples into thin, even slices.
- Toss the apples with sugar, flour, and spices: This will help to thicken the pie filling and give it a delicious flavor. Be sure to use a light hand with the flour, as too much flour can make the filling gummy.
- Dot the pie filling with butter: This will help to add richness and flavor to the pie. You can also use shortening or coconut oil if you prefer.
- Bake the pie at a high temperature for the first 15 minutes: This will help to create a golden brown crust. Then, reduce the temperature and continue to bake until the filling is bubbling and the crust is cooked through.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving: This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to develop.
Conclusion:
Fresh apple pie is a classic American dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its flaky crust and sweet, tart filling, it's a pie that everyone will love. By following these tips, you can make the best fresh apple pie that will be a hit with your family and friends.
