Grandma's Apple Pie
My Grandma Neff 's apple pie is warm, comforting, and filled with sweet cinnamon-spiced apples wrapped in a golden, flaky crust that tastes like home.
Servings: 8 slices
Cost: $8
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 Pie Crusts premade
- 8 large granny smith apples
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground allspice
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- ¼ tsp ground cloves
- ¼ tsp sea salt
- 1 egg beaten with 1 tbsp of water for an egg wash
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F
- Flour a work surface, roll out one of the discs of chilled dough. Place the dough into a 9-inch pie dish. Tuck the dough in with your fingers, making sure it is smooth and there aren't any bubbles. Place in the fridge.
- Roll out the other pie dough until you have a disc that is 12 inches in diameter. Place the dough on a piece of parchment paper. Use a pizza cutter to slice the dough into ½ inch strips. Remove every other strip and use them to weave a lattice pattern across the dough. Gently push your rolling pin over the finished lattice to help it hold together (do not press hard). Place back in the fridge.
- Combine the apple slices, sugar, flour, lemon juice, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, cloves, and salt together in a medium pot and cook on medium heat stirring gently till apples are softening about 7 minutes. Set aside.
- Spoon the cooked apples into the prepared baking dish and in one movement place the lattice across the pie. Crimp the edges to bring the lattice and base crust together.
- Brush the top of the pie with the egg wash and sprinkle a bit of coarse sugar (if desired for a nice finish).
- Place the apple pie on a baking sheet then bake in the lower rack of your oven (this helps cook the bottom crust).
- After 25 minutes without opening the oven reduce the oven temperature to 375°F. Add a pie shield if needed and bake another 40 minutes or until the filling is bubbling and the lattice is browned.
- Remove the pie from the oven and let cool for at least 3 hours before slicing and serving.
