Classic American Apple Pie - Simple, Buttery & Homemade
A perfect Classic American Apple Pie is the epitome of coziness and true soul food. I, Mila, love it when the scent of caramelized apples and cinnamon wafts through my small kitchen. This pie is characterized by its wonderfully buttery, crispy shortcrust pastry that encloses a fruity heart of fresh apples. Whether as a sweet finish to a meal or simply as a treat in the afternoon, a piece of this pie together with a cool scoop of vanilla ice cream is pure happiness. Even if you don't have much experience in the oven, you will see how easy it is to bake this classic completely from scratch. We avoid any additives and focus only on the best, fresh ingredients. The lattice pattern on top doesn't just look beautiful, but is also a great sense of achievement for every amateur baker. Grab your apron and let's bake this golden-brown masterpiece together, which is guaranteed to amaze everyone!
Ingredients
Preparation
For the dough, process the flour (250 g) with cold, cubed butter (150 g) and a little sugar (100 g) into a crumbly dough, and chill briefly.
Peel the apples (3), cut them into thin slices, and mix in a bowl with the remaining sugar (100 g) and cinnamon (1 tsp).
Roll out two-thirds of the dough, place it in a small tin, and distribute the apples (3) on top.
Roll out the remaining dough, cut into strips, and lay over the pie as a lattice.
Brush the edges with egg yolk (1) so everything shines beautifully – a little tip from me: it looks fantastic in the oven!
Bake at 180 degrees for about 40 minutes until golden brown and serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream (1 scoop).
