There is something about a homemade apple pie that feels like comfort in a dish. The smell of cinnamon and apples baking in the oven makes the whole house feel warm and inviting- it’s like a hug you can eat.
What I love most about baking apple pie from scratch is how simple it really is. A buttery crust, a pile of fresh apples, a sprinkle of sugar, and a dash of cinnamon come together, to create pure magic. Whether you’re baking for family, friends, or just because you need a cozy treat for yourself, apple pie never disappoints.
Enjoy it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or let it cool and savor it with a hot cup of coffee. Either way, homemade apple pie has a way of turning an ordinary day into something special.
So grab those apples and let’s bake some memories!
Apple Pie was sooo good….
Ingredients
1 package of pastry for a 9 inch double-crust pie
3/4 cup white sugar, or more to taste
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
6 cups thinly sliced apples
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
1 tablespoon water
Directions
*Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C)
*Line a 9 inch pie dish with one pastry crust; set second one aside.
*Combine 3/4 cup sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Add more sugar if your apples are tart.
*Layer apple slices in the prepared pie dish, sprinkling each layer with cinnamon sugar mixture.
*Dot top layer with small pieces of butter. Cover with top crust and flute the edges to seal.
*Beat egg with 1 tablespoon of water to make an egg wash; brush the top crust with the egg wash. Cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
*Bake pie on the lowest rack of the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue baking until golden brown and filling bubbles, 30 to 35 minutes more.
*Serve warm or cold.
