Perfect Easy Apple Pie Recipe

I’ve been on a serious summer pie kick lately!

Although, to be honest, apple pies are pretty much terrific no matter what time of year it is!

I love a good apple pie at a summer picnic and at Thanksgiving dinner.

Hands down, apple pie has to be my absolute favorite indulgence when it comes to dessert.

But only a good apple pie will do. You know what I’m talking about! I’m not interested in some mediocre recipe. Oh no!

If you’re up for a seriously delicious and classically simple apple pie recipe, look no further. And fun a fun twist, try making French apple pie or pie crust cookies.

Ingredients for Easy Apple Pie Recipe:

Crust

  • 1 box (14.1 ounces) Pillsbury refrigerated pie crusts, softened as directed on box (because a lot of us don’t have time to make a crust from scratch and still want a great tasting crust)

Filling

  • 6 cups thinly sliced, peeled apples (6 medium) (I prefer Granny Smith apples)
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Step 4: Top with second crust.

Step 5: Wrap excess top crust under bottom crust edge, pressing edges together to seal; flute.

Step 6: Cut slits or shapes in several places in top crust.

Step 7: Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until apples are tender and crust is golden brown.

Step 8: Cover edge of crust with 2- to 3-inch-wide strips of foil after first 15 to 20 minutes of baking to prevent excessive browning.
