As the leaves transform into rich hues of amber and crimson, and the air fills with the crispness that only fall brings, there’s nothing quite as comforting as a freshly baked Autumn Apple Pie. This divine creation is a warm embrace for the soul, a celebration of all that this magnificent season has to offer. Let’s make this pie together, a true testament to homemade magic, designed to fill your home with love, laughter, and the enchanting aroma of sweet apples mingling with gentle spices.
Ingredients You’ll Need:
-
For the Pie Crust:
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter, chilled and diced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 6 to 8 tablespoons ice water
-
For the Apple Filling:
- 6 to 8 medium-sized apples (a mix of Granny Smith and Honeycrisp is ideal)
- ¾ cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- A pinch of salt
-
For the Topping (Optional):
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Sugar, for sprinkling
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Pie Crust:
Begin by combining the flour, salt, and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Add the chilled, diced butter and mix with a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add the ice water, mixing until the dough just comes together. Divide it into two discs, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
2. Prepare the Apple Filling:
While the dough chills, peel, core, and slice the apples. In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, flour, and a pinch of salt. This fragrant blend brings to life the essence of autumn in every bite.
3. Assemble the Pie:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Roll out one dough disc on a floured surface to fit your pie pan. Place it in the pan, allowing the excess to hang over the edges. Fill it with the spiced apple mixture, mounding it slightly in the center to create a heartwarming, rustic look.
Roll out the second dough disc, cut decorative slits for ventilation, and place it atop the apple filling. Crimp the edges together and trim off any excess dough. If you’re feeling fancy, brush the surface with beaten egg for a golden finish and sprinkle with sugar for a delightful crunch.
4. Bake to Perfection:
Place your pie in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes. Then, reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for an additional 30 to 40 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling joyfully.
5. Cool and Serve:
Once baked, allow your pie to cool for at least 10 minutes. This wait will make the flavors even richer! Serve warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, creating a moment of true joy.
