A delightful homemade rustic apple pie with a flaky crust and sweet, spiced apple filling, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- Pie crust: store-bought or homemade (flour, butter, salt, water)

- Fresh apples: about 6 cups, peeled, cored, and sliced (mix of Granny Smith and Honeycrisp)
- Granulated sugar: 3/4 cup
- Ground cinnamon: 1 teaspoon
- Lemon juice: 1 tablespoon
Instructions
- Prepare the pie crust by mixing flour, salt, and cold butter, then add cold water until dough forms. Chill for 30 minutes.
- Make the apple filling by combining sliced apples with lemon juice, sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Let sit for 10-15 minutes.
- Assemble the pie by pouring the apple mixture into the crust, dotting with butter, and covering with the second crust.

Notes
- Use a mix of sweet and tart apples for best flavor.
- Don’t overwork the pie dough to ensure a flaky crust.
