Easy Apple Pie

This easy apple pie was my mother's recipe. I make this simple recipe for homemade pie all the time; I love it. I often add a dash of nutmeg, so you can put that in if you wish.

• ¾ cup white sugar, or more to taste

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

Step 2

Line a 9-inch pie dish with one pastry crust; set second one aside.

Step 3

Combine 3/4 cup sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Add more sugar if your apples are tart.

Step 4

Layer apple slices in the prepared pie dish, sprinkling each layer with cinnamon-sugar mixture. Dot top layer with small pieces of butter. Cover with top crust.

Step 5

Bake pie on the lowest rack of the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue baking until golden brown and filling bubbles, 30 to 35 minutes more. Serve warm or cold.
