How To Make Apple Pie
Don’t you just hate it when you taste something positively divine that a friend made, ask for the recipe, and they refuse to give it? How awkward is that? I have always found it somewhat rude and therefore have made a point to share any and every recipe that has ever been requested of me.
There is only one recipe which has tempted me to stray from this policy, my apple pie. ~Takes a deep breath~ So, today, to force myself to remain generous, polite, and kind to anyone interested, I am posting not only my apple pie recipe but a photo tutorial as well.
This is actually quite easy. The most difficult and time consuming part is simply peeling and “chipping” the apples. In no time at all you will be wowing folks with your apple pie. That is all that I ask, don’t say you got this recipe off of a blog or website or make any other excuses when someone compliments it (although feel free to send them to my site!). When (not if, but when) someone tells you how divine your pie is, I want you to smile graciously and say “thank you”. This is now your apple pie recipe.
Starring roles: Sugar, Apples (at least two different kinds, one being Granny Smith), Lemon Juice, Corn Starch, Vanilla, Pie Crusts (You can make your own, I just use Pilsbury), Allspice, Cinnamon, and a wee bit of apple juice.
SMELL this now, its getting there! Go ahead and eat a coated apple slice!
Spoon apples into prepared crust. You want to fill it pretty high.
After you’ve sealed them together (see left side of pic), fold the edges over and crimp them with your fingers or use a fork, whichever you prefer (see right side of pic).
Melt some butter and brush it over the crust then sprinkle a bit of sugar on top to make it even prettier!
Bake in oven at 425 for fifteen minutes.
Include obligatory pic of cute kid who really wants to be in your blog….
And her brother.
Ingredients
- 1 Package Pilsbury Pie Crusts
- 9-10 apples two different kinds, one Granny Smith
- 1/4 Cup Apple Juice
- 2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
- 3/4 Cup Sugar
- 1/4 Cup Corn Starch
- dash of salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon allspice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425. Roll one pie crust out into pie plate. Peel and chip apples into large mixing bowl. In separate bowl, combine all dry ingredients and stir to blend. Combine all liquid ingredients in another bowl and stir to blend. Pour dry and liquid over apples and stir well.
- Place in oven and bake 15 minutes. Remove from oven and cover entire pie with foil. Cut slits in center of foil and peel back so mainly the outer edge is covered (to prevent it from burning). Reduce heat to 375 and continue baking for 45-55 minutes or until golden.
Going to try and make this. I have all m y self ready. I wanted to stop by and say thank you for all your wonderful recipe. You have made me cry becasue it makes me miss my grandmom so m uch .

I think my grandmom is with me when I am cooking. Thank you for sharing your family recipe and thank you for keepingmy grandmom close. (HUGS)
me and my grandma are making it today
Well I started dieting last week and thought there goes Christy Jordan….but then I thought why when I can still bake and just give them away…..and have a cheat day here and there ; ). So today I am making this and a blueberry pie (going to see if I can use this recipe and just omit the vanilla and allspice and wing it….I say as I cringe in fear). Aside from pumpkin I have never made a pie, but I am going to get daring today lol.
Gotta get this made this fall for sure! Love your pie plates! Perfect for apple pie bakin’! And of course I loved the pic of Katy Rose and Brady! Now all I have to do is find some ‘butte’ to melt and I am good to go! Please don’t correct that….it gave me something to hoot about! ~snickers~ I feel the same way about sharing recipes with folks and I can’t say why, but I found my eyes gettin’ misty when I read the part about this recipe being mine now! Love ya bunches & bunches!
I will have to try this one!!
I hope you enjoy it Karen!
We made your apple flautas, oh my, they were so good. I will be trying this recipe sans sugar, since my father is a diabetic. If you use sweet apples instead, no added sugar pies are quite tasty. I bet this one with the vanilla will be scrumptious. Can’t wait to try it!
I am so glad to hear that you enjoyed the flautas! I hope you like the pie too!!
This is my favorite apple pie recipe and I’m looking forward to making it after visiting the apple orchard this weekend!! I’ll just have to remember when I look the recipe up in my ZipList recipe box to look for “Mama” {giggles} 😉
Have a piece for me!!
