Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Ultimate Homemade Apple Pie.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). This will ensure your pie bakes evenly and comes out perfectly golden brown. In a small bowl, mix together the white sugar, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg. This fragrant blend will add a warm spice to your apples, so set it aside for now.
Step 2
Next, take one of your pastry crusts and gently press it into the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan. This will be the foundation of your delicious pie, so make sure it fits snugly. Now, let’s prepare the apples! Toss the sliced apples in a bowl with the maple syrup and vanilla extract. This sweet mixture will enhance the natural flavors of the apples and add a lovely depth to your pie.
Step 3
Once the apples are well-coated, it’s time to layer them in the pie pan. Start by spreading one-third of the apple mixture into the crust, then sprinkle a portion of the sugar and spice mixture over the top. Repeat this layering process with the remaining apples and sugar until everything is beautifully stacked in the pie pan. Finally, cover the pie with the top crust, pinching the edges to seal in all that deliciousness.
Step 4
Now, place your pie in the preheated oven and let it bake for about 30 to 35 minutes. Keep an eye on it; you want the crust to turn a lovely golden brown. Once it’s done, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool for a bit before serving. This will help the filling set up nicely, making it easier to slice. Enjoy your homemade apple pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra special treat!
