This easy apple pie recipe belongs to my mother. I make it all the time when I want a simple homemade pie. I love it! I often add a dash of nutmeg to the apple filling.

Ingredients

  • 1 package pastry for a 9-inch double-crust pie , 14.1 ounce
  • 0.75 cups white sugar , or more to taste
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 6 cups thinly sliced apples
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 egg (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon water , optional

Instructions

  1. 1

    Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

  2. 2

    Line a 9-inch pie dish with one pastry crust; set second one aside.

  3. 3

    Combine 3/4 cup sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Add more sugar if your apples are tart.

  4. 4

    Layer apple slices in the prepared pie dish, sprinkling each layer with cinnamon-sugar mixture.

  5. 5

    Dot top layer with small pieces of butter. Cover with top crust and flute the edges to seal.

  6. 6

    Beat egg with 1 tablespoon water to make an egg wash; brush the top crust with egg wash. Cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.

  7. 7

    Bake pie on the lowest rack of the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue baking until golden brown and filling bubbles, 30 to 35 minutes more.

  8. 8

    Serve warm or cold.
