Do you love homemade Apple Pie? It is a favorite in our home. Today, I am sharing my favorite homemade Apple Pie recipe.
I am one of those bakers that does not always measure. You know that person that puts in a little bit of this and a handful of that into a bowl.
For my daughter, it was time for me to start writing down some of my own recipes including this family favorite easy and delicious Homemade Apple Pie. I do not like to use a lot of sugar in this recipe. It is served with vanilla ice cream. You do not want the dessert to be overly sweet.
It is a personal preference. My family and I tend not like super sweet fruit pies. This recipe does have just the right amount of sugar to balance it out.
Homemade pie crust is something special. It is something I make during the holidays. For everyday use, I grab the Pillsbury Pie Pastry out of the refrigerator for quick recipes.

Now on to the fun part. Let’s make a pie!

White Lilac Farmhouse’s Homemade Apple Pie
Equipment
- 1 Deep Dish Pie Pan
Ingredients
- 4 Large Granny Smith Apples
- 2 Large Red Delicious Apples
- 1 Large Lemon (to be juiced)
- 1/2 Cup Granulated White Sugar
- 1/2 Cup Light Brown Sugar (Overflowing)
- 1/4 TSP Salt
- 4 TBS All Purposed Flour
- 2 TSP Pure Vanilla Extract
- 2 TBS Ground Cinnamon
- 4 TBS Salted Butter
- Aluminum Foil (for pie crust edges)
- 1 Box Pie pastry for double-crust 9-inch pie (Use your favorite pie pastry recipe or Pillsbury Pie Crust)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
- Core, peel, and slice the apples and place in large mixing bowl.
- Juice one large lemon and pour over apples and give a good toss to mix.
- Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of cinnamon over apples and toss to mix.
- Add white granulated sugar, light brown sugar, flour, salt and vanilla to the apple mixture. Mix until well blended.
- Add pie pastry to a 9-inch pie pan/dish sprayed generously with Pam. With a fork puncture the bottom of the pie pastry three times to help the pastry not to bubble up.
- Add apple mixture to into pastry-lined 9-inch pie pan.
- Add four slices (tablespoons) of salted butter. You can also sprinkle more cinnamon to your desire taste.
- Add the top pie pastry over the apple mixture. Pinch the edges of the two pie pastries together (you can also use a fork; I prefer to pinch) to create a good seal. Cut slits on the top to help the steam to escape.
- Place the pie pan on a baking sheet. Add small strips of aluminum foil around the edges of the crust to keep it from baking too fast.
- Place in the oven and bake at 425 degrees for 20 minutes then remove aluminum foil around the crust edge. Reduce the temperature to 350 and bake for another 30-40 minutes.
- Check after 30 minutes with a fork to see if the apples are tender. If not, continue baking for another 10 minutes.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 5-8 minutes.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
