Granny Smith Apple Pie Recipe

Step 1

Peel, remove cores, and slice the apples.

Step 2

Preheat oven to 425°F. Prepare one unbaked pie crust by rolling and fitting it into a 9" pie plate.

Step 3

Squeeze lemon juice over the apples and toss to prevent browning.

Step 4

Add sugar, flour, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt to the apples and toss to combine well.

Step 5

Pour apple mixture into a prepared, unbaked pie crust.

Step 6

Cut butter into small pieces and place over the top of the apple mixture.

Step 7

Roll out second unbaked pie crust and center over the top of the pie. Seal top and bottom crusts together around the edges.

Step 8

Sprinkle the top of the pie with additional sugar, if desired. Cut slits (or a cute shape) into the top of the pie to allow the steam to escape while cooking.

Step 9

Bake for 40-50 minutes, until the pie is bubbling and the crust is golden brown. Protect the crusts of the pie with strips of aluminum foil to prevent them from over-browning.

Step 10

Allow pie to cool completely before slicing. Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
