3. Assemble the Pie

  1. Roll out the dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disc of dough into a circle about 12 inches in diameter. Carefully transfer it to a 9-inch pie dish.
  2. Add the filling: Spoon the apple mixture into the crust, arranging it evenly. Dot the top with small pieces of butter to add richness.
  3. Top crust: Roll out the second disc of dough and place it over the apples. Trim the edges, and crimp to seal. Make a few small slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
  4. Egg wash and sugar: Brush the top crust with beaten egg and sprinkle lightly with sugar for a golden, sweet finish.

4. Bake to Perfection

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Bake the pie: Place the pie on the center rack and bake for 50–60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  3. Cool slightly: Let the pie rest for at least 20 minutes before slicing. This allows the filling to set just enough while keeping it melt-in-your-mouth tender.

Tips for the Ultimate Melt-in-Your-Mouth Texture

  • Use cold butter: The key to a soft, flaky crust is keeping the butter cold until it hits the oven.
  • Don’t overwork the dough: Gentle mixing ensures a tender, not tough, crust.
  • Choose the right apples: Combining tart and sweet apples gives the perfect balance of flavor and texture.
  • Serve warm: This pie is heavenly with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce.

This apple pie is more than dessert—it’s a celebration of buttery crust, tender apples, and cozy spices. Every bite melts effortlessly in your mouth, leaving you reaching for another slice before you’ve even finished the first.
