Amish Apple Pie Recipe
This traditional, double-crusted, Amish apple pie is delicious and very easy to make. Its aroma will make your house smell heavenly.
Ingredients
- 2 9" pie crust pastries for a double crust
- 4 - 5 apples Granny smith, or a variety of crisp apples
- 1/2 c. white sugar
- 1/4 c. brown sugar
- 1 1/4 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp. salt
- 1 1/2 Tbs. cornstarch
- 1 1/2 tsp. lemon juice
- 1 1/2 Tbs. butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°.
- Peel, core, and chop apples.
- Mix sugars, cinnamon, salt, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Add to apples and stir to coat.
- Pour the apple mixture into the crust. Dot with thin slices of butter.
- Wet the edge of the crust with cold water, and put your second crust on the top. Lightly press the edges to seal. Using a knife, trim off the extra crust (you can use this to make a tiny personal pie crust). Crimp the edges.
- Cut a few slits into the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Brush cream or egg yolk on the top crust and sprinkle it with sugar for an extra shine and beautiful browning.
- Bake in the middle of the oven for 10 minutes at 400°. reduce the temperature to 350°, and continue baking for another 50 minutes.
Notes
If you want an extra flavor you can add a pinch of nutmeg and cloves, but be careful, they can quickly overpower your flavor.
Apple pie is great served warm with ice cream, or cold.
