Sweet and Spicy Apple Pie

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Nothing feels more like summer than apple pie. A warm, fresh pie with vanilla bean ice cream. (Yes, seriously. None of this plain, low-fat, nonsense. Go for the gold. It’s vanilla bean.)

A little bit of extra spice and a little bit of extra zest. A homemade crust. A winning combination.

Apple pie in the making

This time, I used Gala apples (being that it’s currently early summer) but I hope to try other apples to see how the texture and flavor changes. I’m most excited to try it with Honeycrisp (Dan’s favorite) when apple picking season comes around.

I promise I’ll take pictures of the cut pie next time. This time we were just too excited to eat it.

And I promise it was delicious.

Ingredients

  • 6 apples (I used Gala) – peeled, cored, and sliced thin
  • 1 tsp. lemon zest
  • 1/4 c lemon juice (about 1 large lemon)
  • 1/3 c sugar
  • 1/3 c brown sugar
  • 1/3 c flour
  • 1 tbsp. cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp. nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp. pie spice (I used Penzeys)
  • 3 tbsp. butter, cut into small pieces
  • 2 pie crusts
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp. raw sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  2. In a large bowl, toss cut apples with lemon juice.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine zest, sugars, flour, and spices. Add spice mixture to apples and toss.
    Pour apples into pie crust and top with small pieces of butter.
  4. Top with remaining pie crust (or lattice crust) and pinch sides closed. Brush top crust with beaten egg and sprinkle with 1 tsp raw sugar. If using a full crust, cut slits in the top to release air
  5. Bake for 40 minutes until the top is golden brown. Rest for at least 30 minutes before cutting.
  6. Serve with vanilla bean ice cream and/or whipped cream.
