How to Make Amazing Apple Pie
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, 1 large egg, 1/2 cup vegetable shortening (or butter), and 1/4 cup ice water until just combined.
- Beat the mixture on medium speed for 2 minutes using an electric mixer.
- Pour the batter into a 9x1 1/4 inch deep-dish pie pan.
- In a separate bowl, prepare the apple filling: Combine 6 cups peeled and sliced apples (about 6 medium), 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
- Gently pour the apple filling into the center of the batter. Do not stir!
- Sprinkle the top evenly with 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, loosely cover the edges with aluminum foil.
- Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
