Of course! Here’s a super easy, melt-in-your-mouth apple pie recipe — quick, simple, and absolutely delicious:
The Easiest Apple Pie (Melt-in-Your-Mouth!)
Ingredients:
- 1 refrigerated pie crust (or homemade if you prefer)
- 4 medium apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced (like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (to keep apples from browning)
- 2 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon coarse sugar (optional, for sprinkling)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, toss sliced apples with lemon juice, granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well coated.
- Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate. Press lightly into the dish.
- Pour the apple filling into the crust and dot with butter pieces.
- Top with another crust (if using a double crust) — seal and crimp the edges. Cut a few slits in the top to let steam escape.
- OR for even faster prep: leave it open-faced and bake as a single-crust pie.
- Brush the top crust with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar for a beautiful golden finish.
- Bake for 40–45 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- (Cover the edges with foil halfway through if they brown too quickly.)
- Cool for at least 15–20 minutes before slicing so it sets properly.
Tips:
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a true melt-in-your-mouth experience!
- If you want an even quicker shortcut, use canned apple pie filling — but fresh apples really make it special.
Would you also like a no-crust “magic” apple pie version that’s even faster and forms its own crust while baking? I can send that too!
