Homemade Apple Pie Recipe (Grandma’s Copycat Recipe)

Ingredients

• 2 pre-made pie crusts bought or homemade
  (Go HERE for my well known Pie Crust Recipe…I have been told many times it is the best crust in the world!)
• 4-5 medium Granny Smith green apples
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 5 tablespoon butter (cut into slivers)

Directions: 

Peel, core and thinly slice apples. Make sure that your apples slices are as even as possible. So that they can cook evenly.

Place bottom crust in pie plate and bake in the oven for about 10 minutes. Keep an eye on it as you are only allowing it to lightly brown so that it does not get soggy once you add the apples.

In a separate bowl add apples, sugar, flour cinnamon, salt and lemon juice. Mix ingredients well, making sure that every apple slice is evenly coated. Pour coated apples into the bottom crust in the pie pan.

Place butter slivers over top of the apples, trying to space them out as evenly as possible.

Finally, place top crust over apple mound. Vent with a few holes poked on top. Bake 350 degrees for 45 minutes.

***If you would like a more even browning to your pie crust you can lightly brush the top of your pie crust with a milk wash. Make sure to do so lightly as you don’t want to make your crust soggy. However I will tell you that buy brushing your crust with a light coating of milk your pie crust will look absolutely fantastic and will have the perfect crisp texture.

PS. The apple pie pictured is my recipe, however it was made by my 10 year old daughter! It was her first time learning how to bake mama’s famous apple pie, with the homemade pie crust and all!
