How to Make Apple Pie By Grandma Ople

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Peel, core, and slice 6 medium apples (about 6 cups sliced).
  3. Melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter in a large Dutch oven over medium heat.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup cornstarch and 1/4 cup cold water until smooth.
  5. Add 1 cup apple juice, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup packed brown sugar to the melted butter. Bring to a boil.
  6. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring frequently, until thickened (about 5-7 minutes).
  7. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice.
  8. Add the sliced apples to the syrup and gently stir to coat.
  9. Roll out one 9-inch pie crust and place it in a 9-inch pie plate.
  10. Pour the apple mixture into the pie crust, mounding slightly.
  11. Roll out the top crust and either create a lattice top or cover completely, crimping the edges to seal.
  12. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons melted butter and 1 tablespoon granulated sugar. Brush this mixture over the top crust.
  13. Bake for 15 minutes at 425°F (220°C).
  14. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for 35-45 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the crust is golden brown. If the crust is browning too quickly, cover the edges with foil.
  15. Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy!
