I’ve mentioned my sister’s apple pie recipe on a few occasions and I’m so excited to share it with you all today!! There are a few little tricks that I think make it extra tasty!!
What you’ll need
1 pack of dough (we used Pillsbury)
12-15 granny smith and red apples (you want a good mixture of sweet and tart)
1 Cup of Sugar
2 tablespoons of flour
1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
This little handy tool will make your life so much easier!! 
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees
2. clean and cut your apples – like I said the apple peeler will make it so much easier!
3. spray the pie pan and roll one of the pieces of dough onto the bottom of the dish
4. In a ziplock bag combine the sugar, flour, and cinnamon
5. Sprinkle 1/4 of the dry mixture onto the dough so that it can help absorb the juice from the apples
6. Arrange all the apple almost to the top – fill it almost to the brim
7. Sprinkle the rest of the dry mixture on top and make sure it gets into all the little crevices
**#8 is Optional**
Cut up half a stick of butter and arrange right on top of apples in 4 big chunks
9. Place the second dough and connect the two parts
10. With a knife make 4 straight lines so that the air filters as it bakes
11. Bake in the oven for 50-60 minutes
Try to let the apple pie set for at least a few hours so that all the apple juices get soaked up – trust me if you enjoy it a little later it’ll taste that much better!!
This is a picture of the apple pie my sister made for Thanksgiving last year – totally failed to take a picture of our finished product from a few weekends ago, but I’m sure you’ll trust me that they were just as beautiful!!!
How do you like to make apple pie? Do you have any great recipes?!
Thank you for reading and hope you have a great day!!
Linking up withEmily & Kate for Tuesday’s Recipe swap.
xo,
I love making apple pie! And you're right. That gadget is the best!
OH my gosh this looks amazing!! I have that apple peeler and it is so fun to use and makes your life WAY easier when you want to peel a lot of apples. I can't wait to try this – it seems so easy!

Oh my Yum!! This looks so good and not that hard to do! I'm going to have to try it. 🙂 Thanks for sharing girl!
I LOVE apple pie! But my brother loves it more so whenever we had it growing up, he would eat all of it so I think it's time I finally make one for myself, haha! Oh and I'm making your shrimp saganaki this week… can't wait!!
YUMMMMM! That looks delicious! Making apple pie is much easier than I imagined. Looking forward to trying your recipe!
I've actually never had apple pie (I know…I know…) but this looks DELICIOUS!! And the pictures of the sliced apples? So pretty!!
YUM! Apple pie is definitely one of my all time favorite desserts! I'm soo jealous of your apple peeler! We don't even have a thing to core out the center so I always end up wasting so much whenever I have apples.
Yum! I have been waiting for you to share this recipe. The even the uncooked version looks amazing. I am very hungry right now.

OMG – I cannot WAIT to try out this recipe! I am a huge baker and only have attempted homemade pies a few times, but this recipe seems fantastic and relatively easy to follow/achieve good results. Thanks for sharing! I'm sure this will be a big hit with the holidays around the corner.
Oh my gosh YES! So glad you posted this- I just got a ton of apples from a neighbor and crust and want to make this as well! Yum! xoxo
Can't wait to try my hand at this apple pie!! I wish we had orchards to go pick some apples at down here. Oh, I must ask, what is that incredible looking berry topped dessert?? Thanks for sharing!
ummmm yum!
YUM! I can't wait to make apple pie or apple crisp after I go apple picking!

OHHH APPLE PIE! I think that's my favorite kind of pie, although Pumpkin is a close second! I love the addition of the butter, I bet that takes it over the top! Thanks for sharing!
Apple pie is the perfect fall dessert, this looks delish! 🙂
Going to share this with my Dad..he's a HUGE apple pie fan!

i've actually never made a pie. i've made pumpkin pie stuffed cupcakes, but not a whole pie! isn't that nuts? this one looks SO good – i'm salivating at my desk haha.
You go girl!!! This is awesome! I need that apple peeler stat!
I love Apple Pie though sadly I don't make it enough. I love a lattice crust to make it fancy, but I love a full crust too. I think Ina's recipe is pretty good.
Apple pie is the perfect fall recipe! We just went apple picking and I am trying to find uses for all of the apples we now have! I have to get one of those peelers, talk about a game changer!
Wow those look awesome!! My mom just made apple dumplings this past weekend, great fall comfort food for sure!
You know I've made a little pie filling concoction, but I've never made a full-on apple pie! And now unless I can find a gluten-free dough I probably never will, but oh. my. god. does that look absolutely amazing!
YUM!! Apple pie is my favorite fall dessert! This recipe doesn't sound too hard
yeah i'm actually drooling.
That's all the ingredients? SOLD!
This is beautiful and looks SO TASTY!! Sign me up and send me some? Please? 🙂
You're making this sound sooo simple!!! Yummo!! We love a good apple pie in this house!
I've never made one, for some reason I imagined it to be harder! They look fabulous 🙂
oh wow! Those look AHmazing! I've yet to experiment making any type of pie. Im not sure I trust myself enough lol
Very impressed lady! I don't love pies in general…..I tend to put all my efforts into cheesecake but Mark apparently likes apple pie so I guess I may need to learn how to make it. You know who I will be calling!
Yum, apple pie is my favorite!!!! I have got to make a homemade pie this season! Yours looks delicious!
looks amazing!

I only WISH I had the patience to attempt a pie. Usually mine are from McDonald's. 🙂
Super impressed with your pie making skills, I love apple pie but have never attempted to make one!

omgggg yum!!
Looks so yummy! What is easy for most is complicated for me though haha but who knows I may try it!
I've been thinking about making one lately, so this recipe will be perfect to try out! My favorite thing here: The height you get with the filling and the top layer of crust! So gorgeous! and YUMMY!
Yummmo! I'm totally ready for some pumpkin and apple pie! I honestly don't remember what is in my recipe but if I make one soon I will have to share it! 🙂 Thanks for sharing! Oh and btw… I need one of those peeling/coring tools! Especially for canning! 🙂
