Happy Monday! Is that a thing? I mean being happy on a Monday lol. Well if you weren’t before you can be now =) I am doing another Thanksgiving recipe this time I am moving from mains and sides to a Thanksgiving dessert. I am making a super Simple Apple Pie. Not a lot of steps in this one at all. I went ahead and made my own crust in this one but this works out just as good getting a store bought crust. I will be honest though this crust recipe I found makes LITERALLY the perfect crust and is totally worth trying to make it. Anyway guys when you make this one (because I know you will try it lol) make sure to take a pic of it and post it to my Facebook page!

Ingredients
- Filling:
- 3 Tbsp. Butter
- 5 Large Apples ( I used Granny Smiths)
- 1/2 Cup Sugar
- 2 Tbsp. Lemon Juice
- 1 Tbsp. Cornstarch
- 1 tsp. Cinnamon
- 1 Egg
- Crust:
- 2-1/2 Cups Flour
- 1 Cup Butter
- 1/3 Cup Cold Water
- 1/4 Tsp. Baking Powder
- Salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375F.
- Cut 2 sticks of butter into cubes.
- Put butter, flour, salt and baking powder in a food processor bowl fitted with a steel blade, and process for 30 seconds.
- Add ? cup cold water to the food processor and process for 1 minute, or until the mixture turns into dough.
- Remove the dough from the food processor and divide into 2 equal pieces.
- Shape each piece of dough into a ball, then flatten into a disk, wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Add the lemon juice to apple slices and toss to evenly distribute.
- Melt 3 tbsp butter in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add the apple slices, sugar and cinnamon, and cook, stirring periodically, for 5 minutes.
- With a slotted spoon, lift the apples from the pan and move the to the bowl, leaving the released liquid in a frying pan. Discard the liquid.
- Sprinkle the apple slices with cornstarch and toss to combine.
- Lightly flour a pastry board and a rolling pin. Roll out the first dough disk to about 12 inches in diameter.
- Carefully lift the dough and transfer it to the baking dish, so the dough lines up the bottom and sides of the dish.
- Put the apple filling in the apple pie on top of the dough.
- Roll out the second dough disk to 11 inches in diameter.
- Carefully lift the dough and put it on top of the apple pie.
- Pinch the edges of the pie all around the pie to seal.
- Whisk the egg in a small bowl to make the egg wash. Brush the top crust with the egg wash using a pastry brush.
- With a sharp knife, make several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Bake the pie in a preheated 375F oven for 40 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 15 minutes before slicing.
