Apple pie is a symbol of American dessert. It is sweet, flaky, and filled with warm spiced apples, making it a perfect treat for any time of the year. Many people in the United States enjoy it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Baking an apple pie at home is easier than you might think. With a few simple ingredients, you can make a delicious pie that will impress your friends and family. Let’s go through the steps to make this classic dessert.
Ingredients:
- 6 cups of peeled and sliced apples
- 1 cup of sugar
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon of flour
- 1 pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
Steps:
- Prepare the Apples: Start by peeling and slicing the apples into thin pieces. Place them in a bowl and mix with sugar, cinnamon, and flour. This will create a sweet, spiced filling.
- Prepare the Crust: Roll out the pie crust and carefully place it into a pie dish. Press it down gently to make sure it fits.
- Add the Filling: Pour the apple mixture into the pie crust. Spread the apples evenly to make sure the filling is balanced.
- Cover the Pie: Place another pie crust on top of the apples. Pinch the edges of the crusts together to seal them. Make small cuts on the top for steam to escape.
- Bake the Pie: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the pie for 45 minutes until the crust is golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Let the pie cool for a while before slicing. Enjoy your apple pie with some ice cream or whipped cream.
Disclaimer: Always be cautious when using the oven. Keep an eye on the pie to avoid burning.
