Just-Like-Mom’s Easy Apple Pie Recipe
I make this pie every year for Thanksgiving, but it’s also a great pie for Christmas!
For this pie, I took a recipe from allrecipes and tweaked it to my liking. I used the basic cooking method, but added a few extra things and coated the apples. I also used Honeycrisp apples instead of Granny Smith apples.
Trust me when I say: It is delicious! I hope you give it a try.

- Slice and peel the apples and let pie crust thaw at room temp for 10-15 minutes.
- Melt butter over medium heat in a pot, stir in flour to form a paste. Then add in water, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and 1 tsp of nutmeg.
- Let simmer for 3-5 minutes on low/med heat, then turn off heat.
- Coat the apples in flour, cinnamon, and sugar.
- Place apples in thawed pie shell and then take the other pie shell, flatten and cut into long strips. Place cut strips on top of the apples in a crisscross pattern.
