Simple Apple Pie

Simple Apple Pie

This is the simplest-to-make Apple Pie recipe on the planet. It only requires 6 ingredients and is oh so yummy! Served with or without vanilla ice cream, it’s delicious either way. Enjoy 🙂

Pie Crust

  • 1 Package Refrigerated Pie Crusts (I used “Pillsbury” Pie Crust, found in the Danish/Biscuit area)

Apple Filling

  • 6 Medium Apples (I used Golden Delicious)
  • 1/2 Cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon

Topping

  • 3/4 Cup Flour (I used All-Purpose, Unbleached)
  • 1/2 Cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1/3 Cup Butter, salted (Cold)
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Gather your ingredients.

The Topping

  1. In a small bowl, mix the flour and 1/2 cup sugar together. Set aside.

The Filling

  1. Peel and cut apples into bite-size pieces and place in a large bowl (you may leave peels on the apples, if desired). If the apples start to brown, add cold water and a few ice cubes. In a separate small bowl, mix the 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon together.
  2. Dump the sugar mixture over the apples and gently toss with a large spoon making sure all of the apples are well-coated.

The Pie Crust

  1. Let pie crust sit out for about 15 minutes before unrolling into the pie dish – this makes it much easier to unroll and press into the dish. Do NOT prick the dough with a fork.

Assembling the Pie

  1. Simply dump the filling into the freshly rolled out pie crust and spread out evenly.
  2. Sprinkle the sugar/flour topping evenly over the apples. Then cut the cold butter into tiny squares and place them evenly on top of the apples.
  3. Bake for 40-50 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool for about 30 minutes before slicing.
  4. Serve with or without vanilla bean ice cream!
