The Perfect Apple Pie Recipe - (4.7/5) image

Provided by Nicole S

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/4 cups flour
1 tsp. salt
1 cup shortening
5 to 7 T ice cold water
6 cups thinly sliced peeled tart apples (about 4 large apples)
3/4 cup sugar
1 T cornstarch
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
1 T lemon juice (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Mix flour and salt in large bowl. Cut in shortening using a pastry blender or two knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add water, 1 Tbsp. at a time, mixing lightly with fork until flour mixture is evenly moistened and clings together when pressed into a ball. Divide dough in half; shape each half into 1/2-inch-thick round. Wrap each dough round in plastic wrap; refrigerate 15 min. Meanwhile, toss apples with sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg and lemon juice in large bowl; set aside. Place 1 dough round between two large sheets of plastic wrap; roll out dough with rolling pin to flatten slightly, working from center of dough to the edge. Turn over; continue rolling until dough round is about 2 inches larger than diameter of inverted 9-inch pie plate. Peel off top piece of plastic wrap; invert dough into pie plate. Peel off remaining piece of plastic wrap; press dough evenly onto bottom and up side of pie plate, being careful not to stretch the dough. Trim any dough hanging over edge of pie plate with sharp knife or kitchen shears; reserve trimmings. Fill with apple mixture; set aside. Roll out remaining dough as directed; place over filling. Trim top crust about 1/2 inch beyond edge of pie plate. Fold edge of top crust under edge of bottom crust; pinch edges together to form a ridge. Flute edge (see Tip). Cut several slits near center of pie to allow steam to escape. Bake 45 to 50 min. or until juices form bubbles that burst slowly. Cool.

This apple pie was a disaster. I followed the recipe exactly, but it still didn't turn out right.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my apple pie turned out terrible. The crust was burnt and the filling was watery.

I thought this apple pie was just average. The crust was a bit too thick and the filling was a bit too sweet.

This apple pie was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This apple pie was a disappointment. The crust was tough and the filling was bland.

I've tried several apple pie recipes, but this one is by far the best. The crust is flaky and the filling is perfectly spiced.

I used this recipe to make a gluten-free apple pie, and it turned out great! The crust was nice and crispy, and the filling was flavorful.

I've made this apple pie recipe several times, and it always turns out perfect. The instructions are clear and easy to follow, and the pie always comes out of the oven golden brown and delicious.

This apple pie recipe is a keeper! The crust was flaky and buttery, and the filling was perfectly spiced. I used Granny Smith apples, and they held their shape beautifully. The pie was a hit with my family and friends.
