Let’s face it, we’re always looking for the Apple Pie by Grandma Ople, but with this version I promise we’ve hit the jackpot! I’ve cooked countless apple pies in my life, starting from when I was really small helping out my mom in the kitchen, to trying to make my own signature version when I wanted to bake something special for my family. There’s a real sense of pride and perhaps even jealousy over apple pie recipes – we all think we’ve got the best one!
What makes this ultimate apple pie special is the very last step, when you pour a butter sugar syrup over the pastry and apple filling just before popping into the oven. The syrup coats the pastry and soaks through the apples, making them beautifully soft and sweet as they cook in the oven. It’s gloriously tasty and just waiting for a big scoop of ice cream for you to tuck in!
To make Ultimate Homemade Apple Pie, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat oven to 425°F. Lightly grease a pie dish or plate.
Place a pan over a medium heat. Add the butter and melt.
Combine the flour with the butter to form a paste.
Add the sugars and water to the pan and bring to the boil. Once boiling, lower the heat and leave to simmer.
Roll out half the pastry into a circle big enough to cover the bottom and sides of the pie dish. Gently lay the rolled pastry over the pie dish and press into the corners.
Place the apple slices in the pie, making a slight mound in the middle.
Roll out the remaining pastry and cut into strips. Lay a lattice work crust over the top of the apple, sealing the edges with the lower crust.
Pour the butter mixture slowly and evenly over the crust.
Put the pie into the oven and bake 15 minutes. Then lower the temperature to 350°F and bake for a further 35-45 minutes, until the apples have softened.
