Homemade Apple Pie Recipe

With Christmas just around the corner, I figured it was the perfect time to unveil my classic apple pie recipe. There is a secret ingredient in the pie filling that really brings out the delicious apples and makes the pie irresistible.

How To Make Apple Pie Filling:
For the best apple pie, you’re going to want to make sure you use high quality apples. I love to use Granny Smith apples because they’re more firm and extra tart. When mixed with the sugars and spices in the filling, it becomes the best combination.
Thinly and evenly slice your apples for the best consistency in each bite. This handy apple peeler cuts the apples as well as peels, which makes life so much easier!
Undiluted apple juice concentrate is my secret ingredient in this mouthwatering apple pie filling. It gives the filling so much more depth!

Ingredients

• 2 (9 inch) pie crusts
• For the Filling:
• 6 to 8 high quality Granny Smith apples
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• ¾ cup sugar
• 2 tbsp cornstarch
• 2 tbsp flour
• 1 ½ tsp apple pie spice*
• ¼ cup undiluted apple juice concentrate
• 2 tbsp butter, cut into small pieces
• 1 to 2 tbsp whole milk
• 1 tbsp coarse/turbinado sugar

Instructions

1. Peel and thinly slice the apples then place in a large bowl. Toss the apples with the lemon juice.
2. In a separate bowl combine the sugar, cornstarch, flour and apple pie spice. Sprinkle over the apples and mix until coated. Stir in the apple juice concentrate.
3. Roll out one disc of pie dough to fit a 9” pie pan that is 2” deep (about 13” around). Spoon the apple pie filling into the pan, then dot the top with the butter pieces. Roll out the remaining pie dough to about 11” around. Cut decorative vent holes, or weave a lattice if desired.
