How to Make Warm Apple Pie 👇👇👇

Ingredients

For the Pie Crust:

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into cubes
1/4 cup ice water
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt

For the Apple Filling:

6-7 medium apples (Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or a mix), peeled, cored, and sliced
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

For the Topping:

1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
1 tablespoon sugar (for sprinkling)

Instructions

1. Make the Pie Crust:

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt.

Add the cold butter cubes and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together.
Divide the dough in half, shape into discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

2. Prepare the Apple Filling:

In a large bowl, toss the apple slices with lemon juice, sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cloves, and flour. Set aside.

3. Assemble the Pie:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Roll out one disc of dough on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Gently transfer the dough to the dish and trim the edges.
Pour the apple filling into the crust and dot with small pieces of butter.
Roll out the second disc of dough and place it over the apples. Trim, seal, and crimp the edges. Cut slits in the top crust for ventilation.
Brush the top crust with the beaten egg and sprinkle with sugar.

4. Bake the Pie:

Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

5. Cool and Serve:

Allow the pie to cool for at least 2 hours before slicing. Serve warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
