How to Make Illinois Apple Pie
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the pie crust: (Instructions for making the crust would go here. This would likely include steps for combining flour, fat, and water to form a dough, rolling it out, and fitting it into a pie plate.)
- Peel, core, and slice 6-8 medium apples (such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or a mix).
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples with 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (plus 1 tablespoon if you prefer a thicker filling), 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice.
- Toss gently to coat the apples evenly.
- Pour the apple mixture into the prepared pie crust.
- Dot the top with 2 tablespoons of butter, cut into small pieces.
- Cover the pie with the top crust (or create a lattice top). Crimp the edges to seal.
- Cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, cover the edges with aluminum foil.
- Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
