Deep Dish Apple Pie
It is hard to beat a good apple pie. There is something so simple but so good about a great pie. That apple cinnamon filling is a classic for good reason. Now you can bake right from my great-grandmother's recipe to make the best possible pie.
Servings: 12 Servings
Ingredients
- pastry for 2 pie crusts
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 4 Tablespoons all purpose flour
- 1 pinch salt
- 8 cups peeled apple slices
- 2 Tablespoons orange juice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F and fit a pie crust into a 9" deep dish pie plate. Chill crust until ready to fill.
- In small bowl, mix together sugar, cinnamon, flour and salt. Set aside.
- Toss apple slices in orange juice.
- Add dry ingredients and stir to coat.
- Spoon into bottom pie crust. Top with top crust, crimping the edges to seal. Cut vent holes.
- Cover crimped edges of pie crust with a pie shield or aluminum foil. Place on a sheet pan to catch any drips.
- Bake for 30 minutes, then remove pie shield. Bake for an additional 20-25 minutes. The crust should be golden and the filling should be bubbling.
- Cool completely before slicing and serving.
Notes
You can use an extra cup or two of apples if you would like even more filling.
Store leftover pie covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Make sure it is completely cooled before chilling. You can also freeze the pie for up to 3 months.
If desired, rewarm the pie in a low oven or microwave in 10-20 second increments until warmed to your liking.
