There is nothing quite like the scent of an Apple Pie baking in the oven. The cinnamon and apple combination fills the kitchen with its wonderful aroma.
This is a double crust pie. A simple plain crust over the top of the pie is all you need, unless you want to cut shapes to decorate! You can purchase pie crusts already made or try out Foolproof Pie Dough.
This is a classic version of Apple Pie. There are so many different ways to achieve that wonder apple and cinnamon dessert. If you want to try a different version of pie check out Apple Crumble Pie. If you want the baked apples and cinnamon but do not want to bake a pie check out Apple Crumble. It is simple and quicker to put together.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Position oven rack to the middle of the oven. This will help to keep the pie from browning as fast. Peel, core and slice apples 1/2 inch thick. Place the lemon juice in a large bowl and add the apple slices, as you slice them to the bowl. Stir after each addition to prevent the apples from browning. Add the sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg to the apples. Mix well. Line a 9 inch pie place with one of the crusts. Add the apples and spread evenly over the pie crust. If you are not making the lattice and leaf top, lay the second crust over the top of the pie. Crimp the top and bottom crusts with your fingers to secure. Make several slits in the crust to release steam. For the top as pictured, roll out your pie crust on a well floured board so the dough does not stick. Cut eight 3/4 inch strips of dough 12 inches long. Evenly space four strips vertically and four strips horizontally. Trim off any excess that hangs over the end of the pie plate. Take all the remaining dough, including the leftover scraps from the strips and roll the dough out again on a well floured board. Cut leaves as desired and decorate the top of the pie. Bake for 45 minutes until bubbly and slightly browned. Carefully watch the pie while it is baking as you do not want it to brown too much or brown unevenly. Turn the pie every 10 minutes to ensure it is baking evenly. If you find the pie is browning too fast you can lightly lay a piece of foil over the pie to slow this process.
