Traci's Delicious Homemade Apple Pie Recipe

This delicious homemade pie was baked using a few of the apples we gathered during our family apple picking day a couple of weeks ago at Easy Pickins Orchards.

Although I don't make apple pie frequently, when I do, I rely on this recipe that I developed years ago and without a doubt, it remains my top choice for a homemade apple pie!

This pie is so good, it tastes like a Grandma made it! - Kennedy

The juicy apple slices are mixed with sugar and spices before being baked perfectly in a flaky pie crust.

Traci's Delicious Homemade Apple Pie Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 Pillsbury Pie Crusts

• 1/3 cup sugar

• 1/3 cup packed brown sugar

• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

• 2 teaspoons cinnamon

• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

• 6 to 7 cups peeled (thinly sliced) tart apples (I like Empire)

• 1 Tablespoon lemon juice

• 1 Tablespoon butter

• 1 large egg white

• OPTIONAL: Coarse sugar & ground cinnamon

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Following the pie crust instructions on the box, prepare the pie crusts and transfer the dough for the crust to a 9-inch pie pan. NOTE: I use a deep-dish stoneware pie pan. Chill while preparing filling.

2. In a small bowl, combine sugars, flour and spices. In a large bowl, toss apples with lemon juice. Add the sugar mixture; toss and coat. Add filling to crust; dot with butter.

3. Unroll the 2nd pie dough. Place over filling. Trim, seal and flute the edges. Cut slits in top.

4. Beat egg white until foamy; brush lightly over crust. If desired, sprinkle with coarse sugar and ground cinnamon.

5. Bake on lowest rack until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly, 60-70 minutes, covering with foil halfway if crust begins to get too dark.

6. Cool on a wire rack.
   

Serve it with whipped cream OR ice cream and caramel sauce.

I hope that you give this recipe a try, it's simple and delicious!
