Apple Pie Recipe
This Apple Pie Recipe combines the sweet and tender flavors of baked apples with a deliciously flaky pie crust. Apple pie with ice cream is one of my favorite desserts, and it couldn’t be easier to make homemade!
There is a reason the combination of baked apples, cinnamon, and sugar is an classic pie recipe!
Apple pie has inspired so many of my recipes like apple pie roll ups, apple pie bread and apple pie cupcakes. Now it’s time to give you guys the perfect classic apple pie recipe. I love serving it up with fresh vanilla ice cream, but it tastes so delicious with whipped topping or even just on its own!
What Kind of Apples for Apple Pie?
With an apple pie recipe, you want apples that are tart, sweet, and firm. You want the apples to be strong enough not to break down completely while you bake the apple pie, but light enough that they are soft when they bake. Below are our favorite apples to use in apple pie!
- Granny Smith – Tart, green, flavorful, and perfect for apple pie
- Golden Delicious – Softer, sweet, and yellow in color
- Northern Spy – Red and green, honey notes, and on the sweet side
- Idared – Red in color, not too harsh in flavor, on the tart side
How To Make Apple Pie
To make a classic apple pie recipe, begin with a double pie crust. If you’re using a store bought pie crust you won’t have as much to do. If you made it homemade, roll the pie crust out to ⅛” thickness (I roll them bottom out to about 12″ circles) and line a 9″ pie plate. Set aside.
How to Make Apple Pie Filling
To make apple pie filling, start by thinly slicing, coring, and peeling the apples. Apple peels tend to get chewy when cooked it’s always best to peel the apples first.
Toss all of the apple pie ingredients together. In this apple pie filling, the addition of a bit of flour helps to absorb the liquids that the apples release when they bake. Unlike strawberry rhubarb pie or blueberry pie, you don’t need to worry about adding tapioca other thickening ingredients as apples don’t release a ton of juices like a berry does. Turn the apple pie filling into the pie crust.
If you are making a lattice pie crust, now is your time to shine! If you are just using a flat piece of pie dough as a topping, roll it out to ⅛” thickness and place it over the apple pie. Crimp and trim the edges, and slice some slits into the crust to allow steam to escape while the apple pie cooks.
How Long to Bake Apple Pie
Start the apple pie at a higher temperature to keep the crust from getting soggy. Bake the apple pie at 425 degrees F 15 minutes and then reduce the heat to 375 for an additional 35-40 minutes or until the apples are tender and the pie crust is golden. If the outer crust starts to brown too much, cover the edges with foil or a pie crust shield.
Depending on your apples, the pie can sometimes bubble over so I always place it on a pan lined with parchment to save my oven any mess.
Does Apple Pie Need to be Refrigerated?
Allow the apple pie to cool slightly before serving. This also ensure you won’t end up with a liquidy pie. Serve it warm with ice cream and enjoy!
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator or on the counter for up to 2 days.

Check Out The 12 Coolest Exotic Cars from the ‘Art Basel of Automobiles’
Touting itself as ‘the ultimate global show for automotive masterpieces,’ Grand Basel is the four-wheeled equivalent to the famous Art Basel show, with the cars exhibited in boxes that are meant to be the 3D analog to the frames surrounding paintings.
The art inherent in such designs prompts actor and noted automotive enthusiast Idris Elba to ask “How is this not art?” when behind the wheel of one of the classics for the Grand Basel video.
The Basel, Switzerland gathering of 113 artistically significant cars is dubbed Celebrating Excellence in Motion and marks the launch of a world tour of the collection, which features a special exhibit of the work of Italian designer Giorgetto Giugiaro.
He is the ‘car designer of the century,’ behind iconic vehicles like the DeLorean, Lotus Esprit, Maserati Merak, DeTomaso Mangusta, Maserati Ghibli and the IsoRivolta Grifo.
Giugiaro was a proponent of the 1970s ‘creased-and-folded’ design theme, beginning with his Volkswagen Golf and Scirocco, before expanding the theme to supercars like the BMW M1.
The cars selected for the main Grand Basel exhibition are special because they represent a limited number of top-of-the-range automobiles – not just the most dignified and luxurious classic cars, but also one-off contemporary editions and technically-advanced concept cars.
Selection criteria include each car’s cultural meaning, conceptual innovation, condition, provenance, rarity and value.
“Grand Basel presents international connoisseurs, experts and collectors with the epitome of automotive culture,” explained Grand Basel global director, Mark Backé.
“It will appeal to a broad enthusiast audience interested in automobile aesthetics, technological sophistication, art and culture,” he added.
Grand Basel’s advisory board includes Garage Italia founder Lapo Elkann, who also backs the Maxim-supported Squadra Corse Garage Italia Americas Ferrari racing team that just won the World Challenge GT Sprint X Amateur class championship.
The specific date hasn’t been set yet, but Grand Basel intends for its world tour to include a U.S. stop at Miami Beach in February.

The Prettiest “Ugly” Nike Sneakers of the Season Just Dropped on Nordstrom
Now that clunky dad sneakers are officially mainstream, I’ve finally decided to just embrace them (yes, I’m aware that it took me a while). Since Nordstrom’s sneaker selection is tough to beat, I just took my “ugly” sneaker search there and immediately found a pair that spoke to me.
The resurgence of Nike’s Air Max 95 sneakers isn’t fresh information, but as long as the brand keeps releasing new iterations of the trending style and people keep wearing them, I’m convinced they’ll remain It sneakers for the foreseeable future. Plus, they’re a lot more accessible in both price and look than many other “ugly” dad sneakers on the market. But back to the Nikes that spoke to me. The latest sneaker drop on Nordstrom included a pair of Nike Air Max 95s with a subtle glitter accent. Anyone who knows me is well aware that I have trouble resisting anything sparkly, and these sneakers are no exception. They come in both pale pink and black, so depending on just how cutesy you like your sneakers to be, you can choose accordingly.
