Classic Apple Pie for Special Occasions
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 (14.1 ounce) package double-crust pie pastry, thawed
  • 6 medium tart apples - peeled, cored and sliced
Instructions
1
Firstly, preheat the oven to a high temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Next, position a baking sheet on an elevated rack within the oven.
2
Combine sugar, flour, and cinnamon in a small bowl and mix until they form a cohesive unit. Cut the butter into tiny fragments; split it evenly between two portions.
3
Unfold the pastry dough to create a circular shape, approximately 11-12 inches in diameter; press it firmly into a 9-inch pie dish. Roll out the top layer of pastry and set it aside for later use.
4
Place sliced apples in a large container; pour the sugar mixture over them and sprinkle half of the butter pieces on top. Thoroughly coat the apples using a gentle tossing motion. Pour the apple mixture into the prepared pie dish.
5
Sprinkle the remaining butter pieces over the apples to create a decorative pattern. Position the second layer of pastry on top; seal the edges and cut small holes in the center crust to allow steam to escape.
6
Carefully place the pie on the preheated baking sheet and bake until the filling is bubbling and the crust has turned a golden brown color, taking approximately 50 minutes to an hour.
