Mom’s Apple Pie
This pie is a favorite in many households, and for good reason! It’s not just a pie; it’s a slice of nostalgia. Let’s jump right into making this delicious treat.
Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter, chilled and diced
- 6 to 8 tablespoons ice water
- 6 to 8 apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
- ¾ cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, salt, and sugar. Add the diced butter and mix until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the ice water, a tablespoon at a time, until the mixture comes together. Divide the dough in half and shape into discs. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Roll out one disc of dough to fit a 9-inch pie plate. Place the crust in the pie plate and fill it with the sliced apples. In a bowl, mix the sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg, and sprinkle over the apples. Dot with butter.
- Roll out the second disc and place it over the filling. Seal and cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape. Brush the top with a mixture of egg yolk and milk.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for 35 to 45 minutes, or until apples are soft and the crust is golden brown.
- Let cool before slicing. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate experience!
