Easy Apple Pie Recipe
This easy apple pie is made with a store-bought crust, a couple of warm spices, and takes all of 10 minutes to prep.
Servings: 8 servings
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 pastry dough pre-made (9-inches)
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- 6 apples peeled and sliced (sweet and tart varieties)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 large eggs whisked
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F with a baking tray.
- In a large bowl, combine the sugar, lemon juice, and apple slices. Let stand for 15 minutes. In a second bowl, combine the flour, nutmeg, and cinnamon.
- Line a 9-inch pie plate with one piece of pie dough, allowing it to droop over the edges slightly. Drain the sliced apples in a colander, then put them back in the bowl. Add the flour and spice mixture, and toss to combine. Place the apples on top of the dough evenly, one layer at a time.
- Place the second pie dough over the apple mixture and gently press down so it sits well on top of the apples. Use a knife to make four slits or cut a hole the size of a quarter in the center of the dough so the steam can escape. Trim and crimp the edges, then brush the top of the pie with the beaten egg, making sure to get all the sides.
- Bake the pie on the baking tray for 35 minutes. Rotate, reduce the heat to 325°F, and bake an additional 25 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the oven and place on a cooling rack for one hour before slicing.

Notes
- Don't make the apple pieces too small. You want them to be sliced, not finely chopped. If they're too small, they could cook too quickly and get soggy.
- Let the pie cool for an hour before serving. The apple filling will thicken as it cools. If you cut into it too quickly, it might be runny and not hold its shape.
- Storage: Store leftovers covered on the counter for 2 days, or covered in the fridge for 3–4 days. Reheat in the oven at 350ºF for 15 minutes or until warmed through. Or, microwave for 30–60 seconds until warmed through.
- Freezing: Wrap the entire pie or individual slices tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil. It will keep in the freezer for up to 4 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight, then reheat in the oven or microwave.
