270kcal
Ingredients
Pie Crust
- 2 pieces pie crusts (store-bought or homemade) Store-bought or homemade crust is fine.
Apple Filling
- 4-5 cups sliced apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp) Use a mix for enhanced flavor.
- 3/4 cup sugar Granulated sugar can be replaced with brown sugar for a richer flavor.
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk Adjust for desired consistency.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Method
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Roll out one pie crust and fit it into the bottom of the sheet pan, ensuring it covers the corners and edges.
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, flour, and salt. Mix well, then pour the apple mixture evenly over the crust in the pan.
- Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the apple filling. Seal the edges by pinching them together, and consider cutting slits to allow steam to escape.
Baking
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 45-55 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Glazing
- While the pie is cooling, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to create a smooth glaze. Once the pie has cooled slightly, drizzle the glaze over the top before slicing and serving.

Notes
Ingredient substitutions: Replace the apples with pears or a mix of both for a unique twist. Optional variations: Add chopped nuts (like walnuts or pecans) to the apple filling for an extra crunch, or sprinkle a bit of rolled oats on the crust for additional texture. Store leftover pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in an oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until warmed through.
