WHAT KIND OF APPLES FOR THIS HOMEMADE APPLE PIE?
This pie can be made with a combination of Honeycrisp and Granny Smith apples, but you could use any type of baking apple you like.
Use more than one apple variety for the best apple flavor. Use apples that will hold their shape while baking, such as Granny Smith, Ginger Gold, Cameo, Jonagold, and Northern Spy are some great choices.
Ingredients you will need:
- Brown Sugar
- Flour
- Apples
- Cinnamon
- Ginger
- Nutmeg
- Butter
- Lemon Juice
- Pastry for Double Pie Crust
TIPS:
- You could cut the sugar in half in the recipe or use a baking sweetener substitute.
- Ensure your apple slices are about 1/4-inch thick. If you slice them too thin, the filling will become mushy.
- Make your apple pie filling first, followed by your pie crusts. This allows the apples to release their juices.
- If you would like, you can add 1 cup of dried cranberries to the filling. This creates a lovely look for the holidays.
- Before baking, sprinkle coarse sugar on top of the crust for added sweetness and texture.
