The Only APPLE PIE Recipe You'll Need
- Hey everyone, it's Natashaof Natashaskitchen.com.
And today I'm gonna teach you how to make
what is probably the mosticonic pie of all time.
It is a homemade apple pie.
This one is loaded with apples.
Now the process is a littledifferent and it'll surprise you
but you're going to love the results.
So let's get started.
We'll start with thesauce for the filling.
Place a medium saucepan over medium heat
and melt an eight tablespoonsof unsalted butter.
Stir in three tablespoonsof flour and let that simmer
for about a minute whisking constantly.
Next, whisk in 1/4 cup ofwater and 3/4 cup of sugar.
Bring that to a boil then reduce the heat
and continue simmering for about
three minutes stirring occasionally.
This sauce is the secret ingredient.
It literally takes less than five minutes
but will transform your pie.
When it's done,
it'll have a lightcaramel sauce consistency.
Take it off the heat and let it cool
while you prep your apples.
You'll need six to sevenGranny Smith apples
or you can use yourfavorite tart crisp apple.
All of the apples togetherweighed two and a quarter pounds.
Peel all of your applesthen cut them in a half
and remove the course.
To remove the course you caneither use a small paring knife
or an apple coring tool, oryou can use a melon baller
like this one and I'll leavea link to this in the notes.
Once the apples are all peeledand cored thinly slice them.
You should get about sevencups of thinly sliced apples.
Transfer the apples to a large mixing bowl
and sprinkle the top withone and a half teaspoons
of ground cinnamon.
Stir to evenly coat theapples with cinnamon.
Next, add all of thatsauce that you made earlier
and make sure you get every last drop.
Stir in the sauce to coat the apples
and I'm telling you it's so worth it
to spend the extra fiveminutes to make this sauce,
for the most incredible apple pie filling.
I'm using our favorite homemadeeasy all butter pie crust
that I've been chillingin the refrigerator.
This pie crust is incredibleand I will leave a link
to the video tutorial in the notes.
Sprinkle your work surfacegenerously with flour
and roll out your first pie crust.
Roll that first crust to abouta 12 inch diameter circle.
If you find the dough issticking to your rolling pin,
sprinkle on just a little more flour.
The easiest way to transferthis into the pie pan
is to wrap it aroundyour rolling pin gently
and use a food scraper to loosen the dough
in case it gets stuck to the surface.
Now simply unwrap itinto a clean pie plate.
Mold that gently into the plate
and you should have a little bit of dough
hanging over the edges.
Add all of the apple mixture
mounting it slightly in the center.
And be careful not to get the feeling
on the edges of the dough
which will make it difficult to seal.
Set that aside, then roll the second crust
on a floured surface,
but this time just to aboutan 11 inch round circle.
I found that if you pushthe edges in like this,
it'll roll into a much more even circle,
which is important becausewe're going to be making
strips out of this forthe lattice topping.
Also, if you're curious,
this is called a French rollingpin, and it is my favorite.
I will leave a link to this in the notes.
Using your favorite pizza cutter,
cut 10 even thickness strips.
Making a lattice toppingis easier than you think.
Take one of the longstrips from the center
and place it acrossthe middle of your pie.
The first five stripsshould be in one direction
across your pie with thelonger strips in the center
and the shorter ones towards the edges.
Peel back the second and fourth strips
and place one large strip down the center.
Now peel back the alternating strips
and add another strip of dough.
Continue doing this on theright and then the left
until all of your lattice is complete.
Place any remaining scraps of dough
around the edges of the pan where needed.
Tuck the excess pie doughinto the pan around the edges.
Once all of the edges are tucked in,
you can crimp or flute theedges of the pie dough.
And this process is so easy
but will make your pie look super fancy.
Push the dough in withone finger on one hand
and pinch around it with twofingers on the other hand.
Pat the edges down slightly
so that they don't browntoo much in the oven.
Next beat together one eggand a tablespoon of sugar
and brush that egg wash generously
over all of the surface of the dough.
This will add a beautiful color
to your pie while it's baking.
Transfer that to thecenter of a preheated oven
and bake at 425 degreesFahrenheit for 15 minutes.
Without opening the door,
reduce the heat to 350 degrees Fahrenheit
and continue baking another 45 minutes
or until the apples aresoft and the filling
is bubbling through the vents at the top.
Oh, pie.
Sweet apple pie.
You will not believe how goodmy kitchen smells right now.
And once this comes out of the oven,
you want to give it atleast an hour to rest,
you want those apple juices to thicken up.
So that way when you cut into it,
it doesn't slide all over the place
and you won't burn your mouth.
That's important.
Been there, done that.
Okay, so we're gonna let this rest.
(upbeat music)
All right, our pie has beenresting, it's just barely warm.
And honestly that's thehardest part is the waiting
because you just want to jump right in
and do the taste test.
But that's exactly whatwe're going to do right now
because we have beenpatient for long enough.
Okay, so big slice for me, here we go.
Okay, that is a big piece.
But that doesn't surprise you, right?
You've watched enough of our videos.
Okay, here we go.
Yum!
And you can see the slice holds together.
It's not sliding apart,this filling is amazing.
Okay, lets get that on to our plate.
I'm really excited.
This is the pie that everyoneneeds to make this autumn.
It looks fantastic.
Okay, cool.
Let me taste it first.
That is worth every second.
Fantastic.
Just that little bit of cinnamon
really amps up the apple flavor.
And I love this sweet tart apples,
they're perfectly sweetened.
This is wonderful.
And to be very honest,
I love the crust just asmuch as I love the filling.
I mean it's flaky, buttery,really easy to make.
And make sure that you watch our video
on how to make this crust.
Super simple, just a fewingredients, but wow.
It is just like pastry perfection.

and these guys are the real deal.
