3 Ways to Make Apple Pie #baking

Pie Dough (yield: 1 top and 1 bottom crust for a 9in pie)
2c + 2Tbsp (300g) AP flour
1 tbsp (13g) sugar
1 tsp (6g) fine salt
8 oz (227g) butter, cold and cubed
4 oz (113g) water, cold

1. Combine the flour, sugar, and salt together.
2. Add the butter and work into the dries until some pieces are nearly all incorporated and some remain the size of a blueberry.
3. Add the cold water and mix with a spatula (the dough may look dry at this point, but avoid adding extra water).
4. Wrap in plastic and chill in the fridge for at least 30 min.
5. For extra flaky pie crust, remove the dough from the fridge, roll out into a rectangle and fold in thirds. Rotate the dough 90 degrees and repeat the rolling and folding. Refrigerate for another 30 minutes before using.

I worked at a bakery and we precooked/baked ours. Used their juice as part of the filling’s syrup too. Glad to see you back, congrats on the baby!

I really love how he never says one way is better, just explains the different outcomes

All three of those pies look unbelievably good

I personally like making a thick apple filling for my pies instead of stacks of slices. I cut cubes and pre cook with brown and white sugar and a little water with cornstarch added, add your cinnamon and nutmeg to this part over the stove and it really mixes all together well. Once cooled a bit it’s perfect to add to a partially cooked pie crust and finish up in the oven. My favorite dessert paired with good vanilla ice cream, specifically Aldi’s premium Vanilla is my favorite find so far.

Best apple pie I ever had; the fruit was cut super thin with a mandolin and mixed with also thinly sliced ginger then layered in for the filling but the pie dough? Mixed in cinnamon to the flour and diced the butter before chilling.

Cutting in the butter after that was an incredible, crispy, flaky crust that complimented the filling.

The last one is a combo of the two, and seems to be the best idea

I like when the apples are overcooked it gives it a filling texture!!

I got diagnosed with Celiacs Disease last week, and honestly, the worst part about it has to be that I can't get to enjoy old favorites like this anymore....

method #3 is what I've used and you consistently get great pies. doesn't matter if it's apple, peach, or really any watery fruit. compliments every time

ngl would neat to do the first one then adding additional fillings for an extra flavor

For my apple pies, I cut up between 4 to 6 apples, usually Macintosh and Empire apples, and then I add the sugar, flour and cinnamon with a splash of lemon juice. I add it directly to the pie crust and start baking it. It comes out perfect every time.

When I cut the apples, I do it one of two ways: 1) after peeling and coring it, I cut it into chunks or 2) I use a spiral peeler that cores and cuts the apples into a thin slice. Either method makes for some awesome pies.

I ain’t gonna lie even though the last one looks the best I think I prefer the first one 😅

I have never seen an apple pie that looked like these. I've always had the lattice and crumb apple pies with a thicker filling.

In my family we always stewed the apples very thoroughly, they don’t retain their shape at all. Really it was more of an apple jam but they were great.

I love how my family does it with the “all in one” method but with how the crust is vented and how full we pack it it doesn’t have a huge dome/gap.

[chelseathomason]

I like the first one because it holds ice cream the best

Love these videos man, super super helpful. Please keep posting whenever you have time 🙏🏾🙏🏾

I've never had an apple pie before thanks to this video I'll finally make it tomorrow!

[wlidbill]

cubed and caramelized is the best filling
