Apple Pie - Good Housekeeping image

Dense, fresh apple pie. Consistently wonderful. I use mostly granny smith apples because I love the tart apple flavor.

Time 1h15m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pastry for double-crust pie
2/3-3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1 -2 teaspoon lemon juice
6 -7 cups thinly sliced peeled and cored cooking apples (2 pounds)
1 tablespoon butter or 1 tablespoon margarine
milk

Steps:

  • Prepare pastry. Roll out half of pastry and line 9-inch pie plate.
  • In small bowl, combine sugar (amount depends on tartness of apples) and next 5 ingredients.
  • Place half of thinly sliced apples in piecrust; sprinkle with half of sugar mixture. Top with rest of apples, then rest of sugar mixture.(I like to overlap the slices in a circular pattern).
  • Dot the filling with butter. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Roll out remaining paastry for top crust and decorate as desired. Be sure to cut vents in crust at a minimum. Fold pastry overhang under then bring up over pie plate rim. Pinch to form a high edge then make your choice of decorative edge.
  • For a golden glaze bush the top crust (but not the edge) lightly with some milk. Bake pie for 40 to 50 minutes or until crust is golden.
