How to Make Pillsbury Perfect Apple Pie

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare your apple filling: Peel, core, and slice 6 medium apples (about 6 cups sliced). 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, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Gently toss to coat.
  3. For the 'from-scratch' crust version: Follow your preferred pie crust recipe (or use a pre-made one for extra ease). Roll out one disc of the dough and place it in a 9-inch pie plate.
  4. For the shortcut version: Unroll one sheet of Pillsbury refrigerated pie crust and place it in a 9-inch pie plate.
  5. Pour the apple filling into the pie crust.
  6. Roll out the second disc of dough (or use a second sheet of refrigerated crust). Place it over the filling. Crimp the edges to seal.
  7. Cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
  8. For a beautiful finish, brush the top crust with a little milk or cream, and sprinkle with coarse sugar (optional).
  9. Bake for 70 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. If the crust is browning too quickly, cover the edges with foil.
  10. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
