Homemade Apple Pie

This classic apple pie recipe reduces your time in the kitchen by using a mixture of homemade and prepared ingredients. The best part is no one will know the difference! 
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 35 minutes
Total Time: 55 minutes
Servings: 10 slices

Ingredients

Homemade Pie Filling

  • 2 cups apples peeled and sliced
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch

Apple Pie Assembly

  • 2 refrigerated rolled pie crusts
  • 1 20 ounce can apple pie filling
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions

Homemade Pie Filling

  • Place apples, sugar, water, cinnamon, and cornstarch in a medium saucepan. Stir to combine and then bring to a boil over medium heat. Boil the mixture for 2 minutes and then reduce temperature to low and simmer. Stirring the mixture often, cook until the apples are tender but not mushy. This will be for about 5-8 minutes depending on the type of apple. 
  • Remove the mixture from the stove and cool. You want this mixture to be cooled to room temperature before moving on to pie assembly. I like to make my filling the night before and cool in the refrigerator. 

Apple Pie Assembly

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and place oven rack in the center of the oven. 
  • Remove pie crusts from the refrigerator and allow to come to room temperature for 15 minutes. Slowly unroll the pie crusts, being careful not to tear the dough. Line one 9 inch pie pan with bottom crust. 
  • Mix homemade and prepared pie filling together and fill pie pan. Dot the top with butter. Use the top pie crust to do a lattice crust. When finished, trim the edges and crimp the outside of the pie. See Heather's Helpful Hints below for help on how to create a lattice crust. 
  • Bake for 35 minutes, or until crust is golden. Remove pie from oven and allow to cool to room temperature before serving. 

Heather's Helpful Hints

Creating a lattice pie crust is much easier than you would imagine. I like this video tutorial from king Arthur Flour. I love finishing off a pie this way because it gives your pies a professional finish. Even if it looks intimidating, I promise it is a simple process!
