As I was testing this apple pie recipe, my whole family kept raving that it is the best apple pie they have ever eaten. Even with years of home cooking and baking experience, I still approach homemade pie with a bit of trepidation. The person who coined the term ‘easy as pie’ had obviously never made a homemade pie! But with a good step by step recipe, making a delicious apple pie is totally doable. The key is to avoid the typical apple pie pitfalls — a soggy crust and waterlogged filling. I always blind bake the crust and boil down the juices of the apples before filling the pie to avoid those pitfalls and these steps do add a bit of extra time but ensures a crisp and flaky crust and a that is not the least bit watery.
The best apple pie starts with good baking apples. I have used granny smith, but you can use any apples that are firm enough to hold up to the heat of baking, so that they don’t cook down into mush. I have given some alternatives in the ‘Tips and Variation’ section.
This apple pie recipe is an absolute perfection. The homemade crust is buttery and flaky with a caramelized exterior, and the center is full of tender and flavourful apples. With the filling coated in an apple caramel sauce, each apple slice is packed tightly into this pie, making every single slice tall and full of apples.
