How to Make Scrumptious Apple Pie Video

You’ve had plenty of apple pie in your life, but have you ever had one this good? This Scrumptious Apple Pie combines a flaky, homemade double-crust pastry recipe with the most classic filling of tart apples, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. The result is pretty much perfection in dessert form. We’ve found the best apples for pie tend to be hardy in texture and tart in taste to complement the sweetness. Braeburn, Crispin, Granny Smith and Golden Delicious are all fantastic options—and you can even use a few different varieties in one pie! Tip: Making pie crust from scratch can be very rewarding, but we can help if you don’t have the extra hour to spare. For an easy and delicious shortcut, substitute Betty Crocker® pie crust mix. Also, if you want to protect your pie crust from over-browning, check on it regularly (but try not to open the oven too often). If needed, use aluminum foil to shield certain areas of the crust once they have become golden-brown. This protection is especially helpful around the outer edges that have a tendency to brown more quickly while the inside of the pie is still cooking.
