Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Classic Old-Fashioned Apple Pie.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a toasty 425°F (220°C).
Step 2
While the oven warms up, take a 9-inch pie plate and line it with your bottom crust, setting the stage for a delightful apple pie.
Step 3
In a spacious mixing bowl, combine your freshly sliced apples with sugar, flour, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg.
Step 4
Gently toss the mixture until every apple slice is beautifully coated in the sweet and spicy blend.
Step 5
Next, transfer this luscious apple filling into the prepared pie plate, spreading it out evenly for a perfect bake.
Step 6
Add small dollops of butter on top to enhance the flavor.
Step 7
Now, cover your pie with the top crust, crimping the edges together to create a charming seal.
Step 8
Don’t forget to cut a few small slits in the top crust; this allows steam to escape and keeps your pie from becoming soggy.
Step 9
Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes, then lower the temperature to 300°F (150°C) and continue baking for another 40 to 50 minutes.
Step 10
You’ll know it’s ready when the crust turns a lovely golden brown and the apples become tender and fragrant.
Step 11
Once baked to perfection, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully before serving.
Step 12
Enjoy a slice of warmth and nostalgia with every bite!.
