Description
Achieve bakery-quality apple pie with a pre-cooked spiced filling and twice-baked flaky crust. The blend of tart and sweet apples ensures structure and flavor, while brown sugar and cinnamon create rich caramelized juices. No soggy bottom or gummy center here just perfectly balanced texture in every slice.
Ingredients
Double pie crust
3 large Granny Smith apples
3 large Golden Delicious apples
4 large Gala apples
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
3/4 cup granulated sugar
5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 tablespoon butter, unsalted (optional for additional richness)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C)
Roll out the first dough sheet and line a 9-inch pie plate, pressing into edges and trimming the overhang
Chop 3 apples (any combination) into 1/2-inch slices and scatter in a colander to drain
In a large bowl, mix brown sugar, granulated sugar, flour, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg to create the spicing mixture
Add drained apples and toss until evenly coated
Add 1 tablespoon of butter (if using) to the mixture and stir gently
Transfer apple mixture into the pie shell and spread evenly
Drape the second rolled dough sheet over the filling, tucking into the crust edges (optional: cut vents or create a lattice top)
Bake until the crust is golden brown and the filling bubbles gently, 50-65 minutes
Let cool completely before slicing to ensure proper set
Notes
Use Honeycrisp or Braeburn for tart apples, Fuji for creamy texture
Substitute half the all-purpose flour with almond flour for a gluten-reduced crust
Avoid overmixing the crusts to maintain flakiness
If store-bought crusts are used, ensure they’re halal-approved
Cool the baked pie on a wire rack to prevent soggy bottom
Cover leftover pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 5 days
