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….

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.
Thank you…my first apple pie…I didn’t have cinnamon and allspice when i baked it but it turned out good! ! loved it!..Simple and easy, but delicious!
I tried your apple pie recipe and it is simply the BEST! I made it for the first time I met my boyfriend’s parents and the pie was vacuumed up. Thank you so much for posting it!
I am so glad it was such a hit for you Moriah!!!
I am going to make this right now for tomorrow, please wish me luck in my adventure of an Apple pie.
Hey! I have to say… I LOVE YOUR SITE!!! It is definitely in my fav list… just found it today. My son asked for Apple Pie for his Christmas dessert and was gonna use a trusty recipe, but didn’t feel like lookin for it–so I hopped on the net and found your Mama’s Apple Pie. It definitely got my interest and thought to give it a whirl. We haven’t tried it yet as it is for Christmas dinner, Sunday, but I am sure it will be D-LISH!
I have a comment and a question. First off, my apple pies have ALWAYS come out MESSY with juice all spillin out. What am I doing wrong? I seal the dough and tuck under or over. What do you think my problem is? Thank you for your thoughts.
Merry Christmas!
The more the juice spills out the yummier it should be!!!
This is an absolute amazing recipe. Thank you for sharing it with everyone! A+
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful recipe! I made this pie for my family at Thanksgiving this year, and it was a hit! Very easy to make and delicious to eat. I am also very appreciative of the images added to the instructions. I am a visual learner and having the pictures made it super easy for me to make. Thanks again:-)
