Mile High Apple Pie

Fall is here, and the only thing better than cozy sweaters is this heavenly apple pie! The warm scent of apples and spices wafting through your kitchen will have everyone flocking like a moth to a flame. And trust us, this pie isn’t just for your Instagram feed—it has enough flavor to make you rethink your life choices (like skipping dessert!)

Mile High Apple Pie

Ingredients:

  • 6-8 medium apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp are the way to go)
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 pie crust (homemade or store-bought, we won’t judge)
  • 1 tablespoon butter (because, why not?)
  • 1 egg (for that golden shine on top)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to a cozy 425°F (that’s about 220°C for our friends across the pond!).
  2. Peel, core, and slice those apples. Make sure to avoid any finger injuries; pie always tastes better without blood!
  3. In a large bowl, combine sliced apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and salt. Give it a good mix until those apples are coated with deliciousness!
  4. Place your pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and fill it with the apple mixture. Don’t be shy—pile it high like you’re at a dessert buffet!
  5. Dot the top with butter, and cover with the second layer of pie crust if you’re feeling fancy. If you want to get artsy, make some slits for steam—because every pie needs a little breathing room!
  6. Brush the crust with an egg wash (whisked egg) for that shiny finish that will inspire envy among dessert lovers everywhere.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are bubbling. Keep an eye on it to avoid any baking debacles!
  8. Once done, let the pie cool down for a few moments (if you can wait!). Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat!

And there you have it! Your very own Mile High Apple Pie, ready to impress family, friends, or just your own taste buds. Happy baking!
