Apple Pie Recipe Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling dough
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup shortening
Ice water
1 tsp Cinnamon
- Filling
5 large apples, peeled, cored, and cut into thin slices. (I like Granny Smith)
1/2 cup granulated white sugar
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon, plus more for garnish
1 egg (optional)
– Add 1 cup of dried cranberries for a festive addition (optional)
- Crumble Topping
1/2 cup flour
1 stick of butter cut into pieces
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
Directions
- The Crust
- In a large bowl combine flour, salt and cinnamon cut the shortening
If you have a food processor, you can use it or do it by hand.
It should eventually have the texture of wet sand. - Sprinkle 1 tsp of water over the mixture, keep sprinkling 1 tsp at a time until the mixture comes together and you can knead the dough with your hands.
- Form the dough into a ball. Place in refrigerator for at least an hour. (dough can sit for up to 3 days)
- When you are ready to bake preheat the oven to 375, then continue to filling
- Apple Pie Filling
- Cut apples by hand or with an apple peeler. (I use this apple peeler)
- Mix egg, both sugars and cinnamon in a large bowl. Add apples and mix until they are coated in the mixture.
- Crumble Topping
- In a bowl, mix 1/2 cups flour, 3/4 cup light brown sugar, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and cinnamon.
- Cut 1 1/2 sticks of chilled unsalted butter into pieces. With your hands, work in butter pieces, until large clumps form.
- Divide mixture in half; freeze in storage bags if not using all of it.
- Put your Apple Pie together
- Take the dough out of the refrigerator and place it on a floured surface. Dust your rolling pin with flour. Then roll the dough out until it fits your pie plate. You want to make sure your dough it even. You can cut the edges of the dough off the pie plate if needed.
- Once you have your dough placed in your pie pan add the apple filling. The filling should overfill your pie plate. It will reduce when cooking.
- Sprinkle your crumb topping on top of the apple filling.
- Place in the oven for 45 minutes. If the topping starts to brown too quickly place aluminum foil over top.
- Serve any way you like. I love to whipped cream or vanilla bean ice cream!

I haven’t had apple pie in quite some time. I could go for a healthy slice right now topped with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream.
We love Apple Pie and this pie does look scrumptious and I want to make this for a dessert! My family will love it and it looks easy to make!
Looks delicious! I love apple pies
I love apple pie especially with ice cream or cool whip on it. I’ll have to try this recipe soon..
wish I baked more often
I love apple pie and this one looks so good!
I love apple pie but pie crusts have always deterred me. I feel that the crust can make or break the pie. Maybe I’ll try your recipe!
YUM! I love your apple pie recipe here, I love making my own apple pie or pumpkin pie for the holidays, I will have to give your recipe a dipping into this Fall.

I like trying new recipes especially for apple pies. This one looks great and will try soon
It’s the crust that gets me every time! I think that I’d have to watch someone make it before I try again! If you’ve been encouraged by your family and friends to share this recipe, it must be delicious!
I know I already commented but I wanted to say…it must be fate that I’ve come across your apple pie recipe again. My husband wants to try his hand at apple pie this Thanksgiving. I’m going to give him your recipe!!!
