What Kind of Apples Make the best Apple Pie?

Some people will say granny smith apples, and others honey crisp. The truth is, any apple will work, it just changes the tartness/sweetness of the pie. What's your favorite kind of apples to use? Leave me a comment below!

Do you cook apples before making apple pie?

This is another often asked question in regards to apple pie. If you like apple pie with apples that are softer, pre-cook them! If you like a more crisp apple, don't!

If you are familiar with apple pie filling in a can, these apples were cooked before and it's what gives them their soft texture.

What's the best way to slice apples for apple pie?

What I have learned is that using an apple peeler-corer-slicer yields the best results. They have manual ones which work great, or you can opt for this attachment on your Kitchenaid mixer to really make quick work!

Do you have to peel apples for apple pie?

Again, this is up to you! If you like the texture of apple peels on the apples, then leave them. For a a traditional apple pie filing though, apples are peeled, sliced, and cored.

How to make this delicious apple pie recipe?

The first thing you will want to do is pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Then, you will want to peel, slice, and core your apples.

Then, place the apple slices into a bowl with orange juice to kep them from browning.

In a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmet. Whisk this together and set it aside.

Instructions for making homemade apple pie

Then, place your butter into a large frying pan to brown it. On medium low heat, you will let it melt and cook until it starts to foam up and get brown bits in the bottom of the pan.

Then, add in the sugar/flour mixture and the apple slices to the frying pan. Let this cook for 5 minutes so that it helps the apples get softer before you bake them.

Then, place it in an unbaked pie crust (I use this flaky pie crust recipe).

Then, you can place pie dough on top of the apple pie, or make a lattie top. The lattice pie, in my opinion looks so much more elegant!

Then, brush egg whites on top of the crust and sprinkle with sugar. You will then bake it for 40 minutes or until the pie starts to look golden brown.
