Classic Homemade Apple Pie

Ok, this isn't the first time I bake an apple pie but the first time I make it from apples. Which I recommend, last time I got lazy and reluctantly bought the canned apples and it did not taste so good. In that case I will show you guys the recipe courtesy of Food Wishes.

Ingredients:
 2 Fuji apples, 2 Granny Smith, 2 Braeburn (I didn't use Braeburn for this one)
1 cup of graduated sugar
3 tsp of cornstarch
1/8 of nutmeg
1/2 tsp of cinnamon
pinch of salt
2 tsp of butter
1 egg, beaten with slight water
1/2 lemon juice
ready to go pie crust

OK! Let's get started

So as I said, I didn't use Braeburn apples but these are the apples. You can use more depending on the size of the tray and how you cut them also.

Slice the apples on the ends and then peel them

Once you do that, cut the apple in half, then again. After, take away the core of the apple and place the apples in big bowl. Another tip is to add lemon juice so that the apples do not turn brown.

When you are finished peeling and slicing all the apples (I feel like this was the most time consuming process), add the sugar first, the mix, and the rest of the ingredients. BUT leave the cornstarch till the end when the apples appear to be wet. Add the cornstarch until dissolved. 

Alrighty. Almost done. Now here you place the dough over, pretty self explanatory. 

Add the apples carefully so you don't spill any over. You will have excess juices from the apples and I like to pour it on the apples at the end. 

  Now place the top layer over the apples and to make the closing of the dough I simply placed the top layer behind the bottom layer, then I rolled both over towards the pie. You can get fancy with how you want you're crust to be like. I simply just place two fingers on the dough and with another finger pushed up to make the pretty creases. Anyhoooo, your pie will need air vents, again, which ever design you choose, cut the top of the pie with an X and then carefully make some slits.

And now the hard parts of making the pie is over now. (Add the egg wash with water on the pie and sprinkle it with some sugar).

 Pop this little guy in the oven at 375 degrees for an hour and 15 minutes. Or whenever the crust is visibly cooked. There will be some juices spilling over so don't mind that. Also I placed an aluminum tray under the pie. Make sure to put the pie, once cooked, on a cloth, only if you're tray is glass.

And VOILA! 

Your result should look like this. I took it out for 20 minutes and it's still hot to I don't recommend eating it right out of the oven.

The smell of the house will be worth the hour wait trust me!
