Ingredients

  • 2 pie crusts (homemade or store-bought)
  • 6 cups thinly sliced and peeled apples
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F.

Notes

  • If you're using store-bought pie crusts, make sure to follow the package instructions for blind baking the crust before adding the filling.
  • If you don't have a basting brush, you can use a spoon or your fingers to brush the egg wash onto the crust.
  • If you want to make this recipe even easier, you can use pre-sliced apples or apple pie filling from a can.

Recipe FAQ

Can I make this pie ahead of time?

Yes! You can bake the pie up to 1 day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. When you're ready to serve it, let it come to room temperature for 1-2 hours before slicing.

Can I freeze this pie?

Yes, you can freeze this pie before or after baking it. To freeze before baking, assemble the pie as directed but don't bake it. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil and freeze for up to 3 months. To bake, remove the plastic wrap and foil and bake as directed (you may need to add a few extra minutes to the cook time). To freeze after baking, let the pie cool completely, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil, and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving.

Recipe Tips

  • If you want to add a little extra flavor to your apple pie, try mixing in some chopped pecans or raisins with the apple filling.
  • If you're having trouble getting the pie crust to look perfect, don't worry! Homemade pies are supposed to look rustic and imperfect.
  • If you don't have a rolling pin, you can use a clean wine bottle to roll out your pie crust.
  • If you're short on time, you can use a store-bought pie crust instead of making your own.
