Ingredients for Apple Pie With A Twist

  • Double Crust Pie Crust
  • 6-8 medium apples (such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or a mix), peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • Allspice
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • Vanilla Extract
  • Fresh Lemon Juice
  • Butter
  • Unbleached All Purpose Flour

How to Make Apple Pie With A Twist

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the peeled, cored, and sliced apples with the sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and lemon juice. Toss gently to coat.
  3. Roll out the pie crust and place one half in a 9-inch pie plate. Trim and crimp the edges.
  4. Pour the apple filling into the pie crust.
  5. Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the filling. Crimp the edges to seal, and cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
  6. Bake for 2 hours, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling and deeply caramelized. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, loosely cover the edges with foil.
  7. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Enjoy! This pie is even better the next day!

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.
