16+ Thanksgiving Apple Pie Recipe Easy Get Cooking And Enjoy!

Ingredients

Crust

• 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1 cup cold butter, cut into small cubes
• 6-8 tbsp ice water

Filling

• 6 cups thinly sliced apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work best)
• ½ cup sugar
• ¼ cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 3 tbsp butter, cut into small cubes

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and sugar for the crust. Add in the butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2. Slowly add in the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough comes together. Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a disc. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
4. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and lemon juice for the filling. Mix until the apples are evenly coated.
5. Roll out one of the dough discs on a lightly floured surface until it is about 12 inches in diameter. Carefully transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie dish and press it into the bottom and sides of the dish.
6. Pour the filling into the prepared crust and dot the top with the cubes of butter.
7. Roll out the second dough disc and place it on top of the filling. Trim the excess dough and crimp the edges to seal the pie. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
8. Bake the pie for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. If the crust begins to brown too quickly, cover it with foil.
9. Let the pie cool for at least 30 minutes before serving. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate Thanksgiving dessert.
