18 Southern Homemade Apple Pie Recipe You Must Try Them!

Ingredients:

For the Crust:

• 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• ¼ - ½ cup ice water

For the Filling:

• 7-8 medium-sized apples, peeled and thinly sliced
• ½ cup brown sugar
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 tbsp unsalted butter, cubed

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, and sugar for the crust. Add in cold cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your hands to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

2. Slowly add in ice water, a few tablespoons at a time, and mix until the dough comes together. Divide the dough into two equal halves, wrap each in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

3. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out one half of the dough on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Transfer the dough to the dish and trim any excess dough from the edges.

4. In a separate bowl, mix together the sliced apples, brown sugar, granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and lemon juice for the filling. Pour the filling into the prepared crust and top with cubed butter.

5. Roll out the second half of the dough and place it on top of the filling. Seal the edges of the dough together and cut slits in the top for steam to escape.

6. Brush the beaten egg over the top of the pie and sprinkle with a little bit of sugar. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

7. Let the pie cool for at least 20 minutes before serving. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate Southern homemade apple pie experience.
