Kara’s Homemade Apple Pie Recipe  
​
  • 4 pounds apples, peeled, cored and cut into slices (I like to mix red and green Granny Smith and Honeycrsip) 
  • 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon 
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
  • 4 teaspoons cornstarch 
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons cold butter cut into 1/2 inch  pieces 
  • 1 egg white, beaten with 1 teaspoon water (this is your egg-wash)
  • 2 teaspoons granulated sugar

​Directions:
  • In a large pot stir together apples, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, salt nutmeg and cornstarch. 
  • Set apple mixture over medium heat, cover and cook, stirring occasionally until the apples are tender but not mushy - about 15 minutes. Uncover and look until the liquid has thickened 5-7 minutes more. Remove from heat, stir In lemon juice and let cool for 30 minutes. 
  • Heat oven to 400 degrees
  • Transfer filling to your lines pie dish, scatter butter pieces on top and gently start your  top design.

Top Design Ideas: 
  • cut various sizes of pie crust strips and create a basketweave design
  • braid smaller strips of dough to weave with flat pieces of dough
  • cut out shapes with pie cutters 
  • have fun and get creative here!
 
  • Once you complete your top design, brush the entire top crust with egg wash and sprinkle with granulated sugar
  • Place the pie dish on a baking sheet (the filling will sometimes bubble over). Bake for 1 hour and cover the edges with aluminum foil if they become too dark before your 1 hour cook time. 
  • Transfer the pie to a wire rack and let cool for at least an 1-2 hours before serving. You can make this 1-2 days in advance. 
  • Ps. don't forget to try my homemade pie crust recipe below for the yummiest results!

I love to bake pies and I have made a lot of them. The most popular one is the apple pie, because it is my favorite fruit.I love apples with their sweet taste and juicy texture. They are not only delicious but also healthy for you. But because of that I am always trying to find new recipes that will make my dessert more delicious and healthier at the same time.
