Apple Pie is the quintessential American dessert. This classic recipe is easy to make and sure to please. Enjoy a piece of this delicious pie with a scoop of ice cream for a truly decadent treat.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 4 cups thinly sliced peeled apples
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 pastry for double-crust pie
Directions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
In a small bowl, mix together the sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Place the sliced apples in a large bowl, and sprinkle the sugar mixture over them. Toss gently to coat. Pour the apples into the pastry-lined pie plate. Dot with butter. Place the top crust over the apples, and crimp the edges to seal. Make several slits in the top of the crust to allow steam to escape.
Bake in preheated oven for 40 to 50 minutes, or until apples are tender and crust is golden brown. Cover the edges with foil if the crust is browning too quickly.
Allow to cool at least 30 minutes before serving. Serve warm, with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.
