Ingredients
6 large Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and thinly sliced
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 tsp ground cinnamon
2 sheets prepared pie crust
1 tbsp unsalted butter, cubed
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Line a nine-inch pie dish with the first sheet of prepared pie crust.
Combine sliced apples, sugar, flour, and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl and toss until evenly coated.
Pour the apple mixture into the prepared bottom crust.
Dot the top of the fruit with small cubes of butter.
Cover the pie with the second sheet of crust and crimp the edges tightly to seal.
Cut small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
Bake for 50 minutes until the crust turns a deep golden brown.
Cool the pie completely on a wire rack before slicing to ensure the filling sets.
Notes
Keep the crust ingredients cold until the moment they go in the oven to ensure maximum flakiness. Slice apples into uniform quarter-inch thickness so they cook evenly. Store leftover pie covered at room temperature for up to two days.
