This delightful and easy apple pie, filled with layers of luscious apples and cinnamon sugar, promises to warm your heart as the quintessential fall dessert.
Ingredients list
- 1 (14.1 ounce) package pastry for a 9-inch double-crust pie
- 0.75 cup white sugar or more to taste
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 6 cups thinly sliced apples
- 1 tablespoon butter
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Start by gathering all your ingredients. Set your oven to preheat at 450°F (230°C).
- Line a 9-inch pie plate with one of the pastry crusts; reserve the second crust for later.
- Blend 3/4 cup sugar with cinnamon in a small bowl. Add more sugar if your apples are quite tart.
- In the pie dish, layer your apple slices evenly, dusting each layer with the cinnamon sugar mix.
- Dot the top apple layer with small butter chunks, then gently place the reserved top crust over everything.
- Bake your pie on the oven's lowest rack for 10 minutes, then lower the heat to 350°F (175°C). Let it bake until it turns a golden brown and the filling is bubbly, approximately 30-35 more minutes.
- Enjoy your pie either warm or chilled; the choice is yours!
