If you’re looking for an apple pie recipe that will make everyone at your table gasp with delight, this is it! The filling is effortless and ridiculously tasty. Seriously, I’ve baked this pie more times than I can keep track of, and it’s the only recipe I always come back to when I want a cozy dessert that really wows. Pair it with my buttery homemade pie crust, and you’ll never go back to store-bought apple pie again. #forserious

“I’ve been making this pie once or twice a year since the recipe came out, and it’s been a hit each and every time! Compliments have included “smells like childhood,” “the best pie I’ve ever had,” and “better than my grandma’s,” so you KNOW it’s something special! Generally I use a mix of Honeycrisp and Golden Delicious Apples, with maybe a Granny Smith or two.”

From-Scratch Homemade Apple Pie

A good apple pie is all about balance, and that begins with the crust. I use my 3 ingredient pie crust recipe, which is a hybrid between a mealy and flaky crust. It stays firm enough to stand up to the juicy apple filling (no soggy bottom!) while still baking into buttery, flaky layers.

The filling in this recipe gets an upgrade from your regular store-bought pie, too, since I don’t just toss the apples with sugar and spices and call it a day. I reduce the apple juices into a quick caramel, then stir the apple slices back in until they’re glossy and just softened. It’s one of those small steps that make this homemade apple pie taste truly unforgettable.

Recipe Success Tips

  1. Use the right apples! I divide the apple display at my grocery store into two sections: great for pie and awful for pie. Apples that are great for pie hold their shape during baking and have complex flavors. I recommend using a combination of Honey Crisp, Granny Smith, Pink Lady, or Golden Delicious. AVOID McIntosh, Fuji, Gala, or Red Delicious for apple pie as they taste one-dimensional and fall apart faster than a reality show housewife (use them to make applesauce instead!)
