Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (200 grams)
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (15 grams)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (3 grams)
  • 6-8 apples (peeled and sliced (SEE NOTE))
  • 2 homemade pie crusts ((click for recipe))
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (28 grams, cubed (¼ stick))

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Combine the sugar, flour, and cinnamon in a large bowl until well-mixed.
  • Add the apples, tossing until well coated (I used about 6 apples for my pie plate and only about ¾ of the sugar mixture.
  • Line a pie pan with one of the pie crusts. Pour the sugar-coated apples into the pie pan. Dot with cubes of butter.
  • Place the second crust on top of apples and butter and seal. Cut a few slits for steam to escape on top layer of crust.
  • Spread a small amount of milk on top of the pastry (I use a fork; when I use a spoon the pastry gets soggy), then sprinkle the pie with leftover sugar. This will give the pie a warm and brown look on top.
  • Bake for 50 minutes. I would put a cookie sheet a rack lower in the oven in case juices overflow your pie plate.
  • Let pie cool, then slice and serve.
