Grandma's Apple Pie Recipe

Recipe Type: Pie, Apples, Fruit, Pie Pastry
Yields: 8 servings
Prep time: 25 min
Cook time: 45 min

Ingredients:

Pastry for 9-inch two crust pie
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
5 to 6 medium (2 pounds) green tart cooking apples
2 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces
1 to 2 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon granulated sugar

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Prepare pie pastry.

In a large bowl, combine sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves; set aside.

Peel, core, and slice apples approximately 1/4-inch thick. Toss apple slices in sugar mixture until well coated.

Spoon apple filling into pastry-lined pie plate and dot with butter. Cover with remaining pastry and flute. Cut slits in pastry so stream can escape. Brush milk over top and then sprinkle 1 tablespoon sugar onto top of pie crust.

Bake 45 to 50 minutes or until the internal temperature registers approximately 175 degrees F. on your cooking thermometer and the crust is golden brown and apples are tender.

This is the type of cooking thermometer that I prefer and use in my cooking. I get many readers asking what cooking thermometer that I prefer and use in my cooking and baking. I, personally, use the Thermapen Thermometer shown in the photo on the right. Originally designed for professional users, the Super-Fast Thermapen Thermometer is used by chefs all over the world. To learn more about this excellent thermometer and to also purchase one (if you desire), just click on the underlined: Thermapen Thermometer.

Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack before cutting and serving.

Serve warm or at room temperature.

Makes 8 servings.
