Apple Pie, is there anything better on a cool fall day? The warm spiced apples surrounded by the delicate flaky crust. It’s the stuff dreams are made of. I took a trip to our local orchard and picked some delicious Granny Smith’s. I knew their future looked bright with this pie. As promised in my Lattice Pie Crust Post, here is my spiced apples recipe.
You’ll need approximately 6 apples depending on the size. I threw one Honeycrisp in with the Granny Smith’s for good measure.
Peel all your apples. I found my Mid-West skills are rooted deep within me. I can peel an entire apple in one peel in under 15 seconds. Not to brag or anything 😉
Slice the apples nice and thin.
Add in your sugars and stir to combine.
Next, sprinkle on your cinnamon and flour.
Add as much flour as you need, until it looks something like this. Not too dry and not too watered down.
Get your pie plate ready.
Lay out your pie crust in the pan. I just used 2 store-bought crusts for this, but you could always make your own.
Pour in your spiced apples. If an apple slice or two is left behind in the bowl, don’t stress, just eat it. Thank me later.
You can put a full pie crust on top, or lattice it like I did here.
If you forget to put your butter on before your top layer of crust like me, just put it in the holes of the crust or don’t be like me in the first place and forget. Oh, and I do recommend using this delicious Honey Cinnamon Butter instead of plain old butter.
Gently paint a layer of egg wash right on top of the crust. Just take an egg, beat it and use a pastry brush to gently glide it on.
I always cover the edges in foil as they tend to brown more quickly than the rest of the pie, and you want everything to be baked evenly.
45 minutes later, take a good whiff of your house. You’re the envy of all your neighbors! Best Apple Pie in town, folks!
Spiced Apple Pie
Ingredients
6 apples (your favorite kind)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup to 1 cup all-purpose flour (depending on juiciness of apples)
2 tablespoons butter
1 egg
Directions
Pre-heat oven to 375. Peel, core and cut apples into thin slices. In a bowl, combine sliced apples and sugars. Stir until sugar thoroughly coats the apples. Add cinnamon and enough flour to coat the apples. Add store-bought pie crust dough to the bottom of a pie plate. Pour in the apple mixture. Make sure the apple slices are laying flat. Cut butter into small pieces and put on top of the filling. Cut a second store-bought pie crust dough into 1-inch strips.Using the dough strips, form a lattice pattern on the top. Crimp the edges, as desired. Paint an egg wash over the top dough. Bake for 45 minutes, or until pie is golden brown. Wrap foil around the edges of the pie if it begins to brown too quickly.
I’m sharing this recipe with my good friends over at the Fiesta Friday Party!
Also, my race is tomorrow, so wish me luck! I’ve never done one before 🙂
I love everything from cake to kale. Life is all about balance. I like to live, laugh and love to the fullest! Our time is too short not to enjoy ourselves.
Apple pie is the best, looks fantastic.
Thank you, Suzanne!
Your pie looks and sounds delicious, Sarah. I’d expect nothing less than a “spiced” version from you. 😉
Lots of luck in the race tomorrow…wishing you oodles of endurance!
Thank you so much, Nancy!
Fabulous pies Sarah. .. happy FF. ..
Thank you very much, Chitra!
Oh my! Apple pie is soooooo delicious! Yours looks devine! Wish I could eat the whole thing…
I’m not confirming nor denying that I ate all of mine… 😉
Hahahaha 😀
Sarah, I love apple pie!!
Me too, Debbie!
Sheeeeez.. could that crust be any more PERFECT?! No. It almost doesn’t even look real, but you have the pictures to prove that it is… in fact… real. WOW. To answer your question, no. Nothing is better than an apple pie in the fall. Nothing. My first job was at an Apple Orchard and they made the most delicious pies…. but… shhh… you might have them beat!!
Thank you so much Stephanie for the ridiculously kind words, you made my day 🙂
Your recipes never fail to make me hungry!!
My job is done here 🙂
Your apple pie looks gorgeous! I can see myself grabbing more than one slice for myself. Thanks for sharing this with us at FF!
Thank you, Andrea! Happy FF!
There isn’t anything better on a cool fall day!! How lovely! Mmm I haven’t had or made apple pie in awhile… this pie makes me want to change that ASAP! Thanks for sharing! Happy Fiesta Friday! 😀
Thank you, Tracy! Make one ASAP 🙂
Hey Sarah, best of luck! Be safe and have fun!!! C.
Thank you friend!

Thank you, Arl!
Sarah, your Pie is amazing and I want to try it 🙂
You’re too kind, thank you! 🙂
Your pie looks just picture-perfect Sarah and it must taste wonderful! Thank you for sharing at FF!
Thanks!
This pie looks delicious, and I can only imagine how wonderful it will the kitchen smell! I’d be tempted to go old school and cool it next to an open window, just to tease my neighbours haha
Haha! That’s a great idea, they’ll be knocking on the door in no time 🙂
This looks great! And I bet your kitchen smelled wonderful. I love apple pie, especially with some ice cream 😀
Thank you! I have a small house, so my entire house smelled like apple pie! A little vanilla ice cream on top is the best 🙂
Beautiful pie, Sarah! I especially love the woven crust! 😀
Thank you so much!
Sarah, beautiful job on this delicious pie! Ya know what I think is the problem with a lot of cooking shows, recipes and blogs? The teach a recipe, but novice cooks don’t know what to do when they’ve made a mistake…not enough experience, yet. Your little boo boo with the butter is a great learning experience!
I love the idea of honey butter in this – wow!
Thank you! I like to keep it real, none of us are perfect 🙂
I’m going to try this for Thanksgiving. I hope it turns out!
I’m doing one for Thanksgiving too!
That is one seriously good looking pie. Forgetting the butter is exactly the kind of thing I would do!! It looks all the better for it if you ask me 🙂
Thank you so much, Nicky!
That pie is sooo tempting!
Thank you 🙂
Your apple pie looks soooooo delicious!
Thank you so much!
