Ingredients

  • 2 9-inch unbaked pie crusts, defrosted if frozen
  • 8 granny smith apples peeled, cored, halved, and sliced thinly
  • 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • ½ cup 8 Tbsp or 1 stick salted butter
  • 4 Tbsp all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ cup of water

Instructions

  • All ingredients ready? Let's begin!
  • Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
  • Place one of the pie crusts into a 9-inch pie pan. Place the pie pan on the lined baking sheet.
  • Place the peeled, cored, and sliced apples in a bowl and pour the lemon juice over them. Toss to coat. Set this aside.
  • In a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the 2 sugars, cinnamon, and water. Lower the heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
  • While the sauce is simmering, cut the second crust into 1-inch wide strips.
  • Place the apples in the dough-lined pie pan. Take 3 heaping spoonsful of the sugar mixture and pour it over the apples.
  • Take the strips of pie dough and layer them in a crisscross lattice pattern over the apples. Trim the excess dough and crimp the edges with the tines of a fork to seal the dough or pinch the edge with your fingers to form a seal. This short video shows how to form a lattice top – just skip the egg wash and sugar in the video.
  • Carefully pour or ladle the remaining sugar-based sauce over the pie so that it seeps down into the apple filling through the lattice openings.
  • Place the baking sheet with the pie into the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350°F and continue to bake for 35 to 45 minutes until the apples are soft when pierced with a sharp paring knife. Remove the pan from the oven and allow the bubbling hot pie to rest while it sets up and cools.
  • Serve the pie warm or at room temperature with whipped cream, ice cream, or a slice of cheddar cheese.
