🧺 Ingredients
For the Crust
-
2 refrigerated pie crusts (or homemade if you prefer)
For the Apple Filling
-
8 cups thinly sliced, peeled apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work best)
-
1 cup granulated sugar
-
¼ cup brown sugar
-
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
-
1½ tsp ground cinnamon
-
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
-
1 tbsp lemon juice
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Glaze (Optional)
-
1 cup powdered sugar
-
2–3 tbsp milk
-
½ tsp vanilla extract
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust
-
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Lightly flour your surface and roll out both pie crusts to fit a 15×10-inch sheet pan.
-
Place one crust in the pan, pressing it into the corners and edges.
2. Make the Apple Filling
-
In a large bowl, combine the apples, sugars, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and vanilla.
-
Toss until apples are evenly coated.
3. Assemble the Pie
-
Spread the apple filling evenly over the crust in the pan.
-
Place the second crust on top. Pinch the edges to seal, and cut a few slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
4. Bake to Golden Perfection
-
Bake for 40–45 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
-
Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
5. Add the Glaze (Optional)
-
Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
-
Drizzle over the cooled pie before slicing into squares or bars.
✨ Tips & Variations
-
Add a handful of chopped pecans or walnuts for a crunchy twist.
-
For extra decadence, serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream 🍨.
-
If you love caramel, drizzle warm caramel sauce over the top instead of glaze.
