Homemade Apple Pie Recipe (+)

Directions

Place the pie crust (homemade or store bought) in a 9" pie plate. Pat the crust into the bottom and around the sides. Trim overhang around the edges to 1/4". Place crust in the refrigerator while preparing the apples.
Peel, core, and slice the apples. Place in an acidic water bath consisting of 1/4 cup of lemon juice to 1 quart of water. This will keep the apples from turning brown.
Combine the sugar, flour, tapioca, and salt together in a small bowl. Stir until evenly distributed.
Remove the pie crust from the refrigerator and lightly flour the bottom of the crust. This will help prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
Pour the apples into the crust and then sprinkle the sugar mixture evenly over them. Dot the butter evenly on top of the apples.
Moisten the edges all around the crust and then cover the apples with the top crust. Press lightly around the edges.
Trim the overhang so that it is just slightly longer than the bottom crust. Crimp the edges all around the pie to seal the crusts together.
Make several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape as the pie bakes. Sprinkle the top lightly with sugar.
Place in the microwave, on high, and cook for 5 minutes. Then place in an oven preheated to 350°F. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until filling is bubbling and the crust is nicely browned.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool at least 30 minutes before serving. If served warm, the filling may still be a little runny. It will thicken as it cools.
