Indulge in the taste of tradition with this timeless apple pie recipe. This quintessential dessert is a celebration of the cooler, cozier Fall & Winter months. While every family has their favourite way of making it, here’s our rendition using Apple Pie Spice.

Ingredients

  • 6 apples, such as Ambrosia, Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or a mix
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp water or milk
  • 3⁄4 cup lightly packed brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp corn starch
  • 1 tbsp Apple Pie Spice
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
  • 1⁄4 tsp Sea Salt
  • 2 deep dish frozen pie shells (9" each), defrosted

Preparation

  1. Peel and core apples; thinly slice. You should have about 8 cups. Place in Multipurpose Steamer . Cover and microwave on high for 4 min or until they start to soften. Uncover and refrigerate until cool, about 15 min. Stir in sugar, corn starch, apple pie spice, vinegar and salt; toss to coat.
  2. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 425° F. Place one uncooked pie shell on Sheet Pan. In a small bowl, whisk egg with water.
  3. Turn cooled apples into pie shell on pan. Lightly brush rim of pastry with egg wash.
  4. Invert remaining shell (still in plate) overtop. Gently loosen dough from edges. Discard foil plate. Gently press dough edges together; crimp with tines of a fork.
  5. Generously brush top of pie with egg wash (discard any leftover). Using a knife, cut a few steam vents in top.
  6. Bake in preheated oven for 20 min. Reduce heat to 375° F. Continue to bake until crust is deep golden, 30-40 min. Cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
