Everyone enjoys a good old fashioned apple pie.
Heather Hall with The Ugly Pie in Salisbury, Md. joins us in the DelmarvaLife kitchen to show us how to make a lattice apple pie. Check out the recipe below:
Classic Apple Pie
Ingredients:
- 2 – 9” pie crusts
- 3 lb. Granny Smith Apples (about 6 apples)
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1-2 egg whites
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees
2. Peel & thinly slice apples
3. Combine sugar, flour and cinnamon. Toss with sliced apples
4. Mix melted butter into apple mixture and set aside
5. Place one crust into 9” pie pan – allow excess to drape over sides
6. Pour apple filling into unbaked crust, brush outer edge of crust with egg whites
7. Put second crust on cutting board and cut into 1” – 2” strips (per preference) – weave a lattice pattern on top of apple filling
8. Press edges of bottom & top crusts together and roll under to form outer rim of pie – crimp if desired
9. Brush top of pie with egg whites
10. Place pie on baking sheet and baked at 400 degrees for 35 minutes. Lower oven temperature to 350 degrees and bake for an additional 40 minutes, or until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly. Cover edges with foil if they begin to burn.
