Apple Pie
Yield: One 9-inch apple pie
Ingredients:
- 1 package (14.1 ounces) of refrigerated pie crusts for a 9-inch double-crust pie
- ¾ cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 6 cups of thinly sliced apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 450°F (230°C).
- Prepare Bottom Crust: Place one pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it firmly against the bottom and sides.
- Mix Sugar and Cinnamon: In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon.
- Layer Apples: Arrange a layer of apple slices in the pie dish. Sprinkle a portion of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the apples. Repeat this process, layering apples and sprinkling the mixture until all the apples and sugar mixture are used.
- Add Butter: Dot the top layer of apples with small pieces of butter.
- Top Crust: Place the second pie crust over the apples. Seal the edges by pinching them together, and cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Bake: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for about 10 minutes. Then, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
- Cool: Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack before serving.
