Apple Pie

This is a recipe for delicious, old-fashioned apple pie. As you may know, we went apple picking about a month ago and came back with over 20 apples. Needless to say, I had multiple recipes running through my head.

A couple years ago I attempted to make apple pie for the first time. And it turned out so darn delicious. How could I not make it again?

I grew up in a home where the specialty dessert was making layered chocolate cake. No complaints here! But there is something about the smell of a warm pie coming out of the oven and loading vanilla ice cream on top.

Ingredients

Apple Pie Filling:

  • 1 cup dark brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • 6-8 medium apples
  • 2 tablespoons butter

  10. Allow the pie to cool before serving.

I might have cheated a little and did not take the time to make my own dough for crust. However, by using the premade crust – this saved time, and to me it is equally as delicious.

  1. This was absolutely delicious. Being someone who loves baked treats, I’ve had many pies in my day and there’s nothing like having home made pie right out of the oven, not to mention the wonderful aroma that makes its way through the house. This is a winner for sure, thanks! 🙂
