Apple pie is my favorite pie — I make it for holidays or any occasion. I based this recipe on another popular apple pie recipe on this site, but I cut the butter and sugar amounts in half.

Ingredients

  • unsalted butter: 0.25 cup
  • all-purpose flour: 3 Tbsp
  • packed brown sugar: 0.5 cup
  • water: 0.25 cup
  • double-crust pie pastry: 1 pack (14.1 ounce pack, thawed)
  • Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored and: 8 piece (sliced)

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

  2. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and stir to form a paste; cook until fragrant, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add brown sugar and water; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.

  3. Press one pastry into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Roll out remaining pastry so it will overhang the pie by about 1/2 inch. Cut pastry into eight 1-inch strips.

  4. Place sliced apples into the bottom crust, forming a slight mound. Lay four pastry strips vertically and evenly spaced over apples, using longer strips in the center and shorter strips at the edges.

  5. Make a lattice crust: Fold the first and third strips all the way back so they're almost falling off the pie. Lay one of the unused strips perpendicularly over the second and fourth strips, then unfold the first and third strips back into their original position.

  6. Fold the second and fourth vertical strips back. Lay one of the three unused strips perpendicularly over top. Unfold the second and fourth strips back into their original position.

  7. Repeat Steps 5 and 6 to weave in remaining two pastry strips. Fold and trim excess dough at the edges as necessary. Pinch to secure.

  8. Slowly and gently pour sugar mixture over lattice crust, making sure it seeps over sliced apples. Brush some onto lattice, but make sure it doesn't run off the sides.

  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue baking until apples are soft, 35 to 45 minutes.
