Homemade Cinnamon Apple Pie: Comforting
If there’s one dessert that defines the coziness of fall, it’s a warm slice of homemade Cinnamon Apple Pie. The aroma of cinnamon-spiced apples wafting through your kitchen is enough to make anyone’s mouth water. This comforting recipe is a delightful blend of sweet and tart flavors, encased in a flaky, golden-brown crust.
Ingredients
- 6 cups of thinly sliced, peeled apples (about 6 medium-sized apples)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 package of refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, flour, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and lemon juice. Toss everything together until the apples are evenly coated.
- Line a 9-inch pie dish with one of the pie crusts.
- Pour the apple mixture into the pie crust, spreading it out evenly. Dot the top with small pieces of unsalted butter.
- Place the second pie crust over the filling, and crimp the edges to seal the pie. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Brush the top crust with the beaten egg to give it a beautiful golden sheen.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown, and the filling is bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let the pie cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
