Double-crust apple pie with butter pastry and warm spices.
About Apple pie
This apple pie follows King Arthur’s double-crust version, with sliced apples enclosed in a pastry made from wheat flour, butter and vegetable shortening.
Cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice warm the sweet-tart fruit. Lemon juice brightens the filling, with optional boiled cider and vanilla providing extra depth.
The flaky pastry surrounds a soft apple filling thickened with flour and cornstarch. The pie is cooled before slicing so the filling can settle beneath the top crust.
