Best Apple Pie Recipe Ever – Easy And Made From Scratch!

What makes this apple pie so great is the amazing texture of both the apple filling and the crust dough.  The filling of this apple pie is prepared using an unconventional cooking method that makes it so great.  The apples are first cooked in melted butter, sugar and cinnamon and also tossed with a freshly squeezed lemon juice for a fresh new flavor dimension!  You’ll have to stop yourself from not eating the filling before baking the pie 🙂

Have you ever eaten a mushy soggy apple pie?  The released juice from the apples is the culprit!  This cooking method is genius in avoiding the mush, here’s how: pre-cooking the apples in the pan releases their juice, and we fish out the apples with the slotted spoon so the juice is NOT added to the pie filling!  The apples in the filling are shining with flavor and a perfect texture – and that’s exactly what you want in a best ever apple pie!
