Simple Apple Pie
Jump to RecipeThis 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 :)
Ingredients
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
- ½ Cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
Topping
- ¾ Cup Flour I used All-Purpose, Unbleached
- ½ Cup Granulated Sugar
- ⅓ Cup Butter, salted Cold
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Gather your ingredients.
The Topping
- In a small bowl, mix the flour and 1/2 cup sugar together. Set aside.
The Filling
- 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.
- 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
- 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
- Simply dump the filling into the freshly rolled out pie crust and spread out evenly.
- 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.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool for about 30 minutes before slicing.
- Serve with or without vanilla bean ice cream!
