Prep Time

15 minutes

Cook Time

45 minutes

Ingredient

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Equipment

  • 9-inch pie dish
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Pastry blender or two knives

Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F.
  2. Make the crust: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt. Using a pastry blender or two knives, cut in the butter until the mixture is crumbly.
  3. Press the crust mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish. Use a fork to prick the crust all over.
  4. Arrange the sliced apples in a single layer over the crust.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the apples.
  6. Bake for 45 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
  7. Remove from oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

For best results, use a tart apple variety, such as Granny Smith, for this recipe. If you prefer a sweeter apple, you can use Honeycrisp or Gala instead. You can also add a tablespoon of lemon juice to the apple mixture to prevent browning.

Recipes FAQ

Can I use a different type of fruit?

Yes, you can use any type of fruit that you like. This recipe works well with peaches, pears, and berries.

Can I use margarine instead of butter?

While you can use margarine instead of butter, the flavor and texture of the crust will be different. Butter provides a richer, more buttery flavor and a flakier texture.

Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

Yes, you can make this recipe ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.

Recipe Tips

Use cold butter:

Make sure your butter is cold before blending it into the flour mixture. This will help create a flaky crust.

Don’t overwork the dough:

Once the dough comes together, stop mixing. Overworking the dough can result in a tough crust.

Add a little sugar to the crust:

Adding a tablespoon of granulated sugar to the crust mixture can help balance the tartness of the apples.

Serve with whipped cream or ice cream:

This dessert is delicious on its own, but it’s even better with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
