Introduction
An apple pie is a delicious and well-loved dessert. It’s one of the first recipes that many people learn to make when they start experimenting with cooking in their own kitchens. While it’s easy to throw together, there are some tricks to making sure your pie turns out just right every time! This guide will walk you through all the steps necessary for making an apple pie that’ll have family and friends begging for more.
Step 1: Gather your ingredients.
- Ingredients:
- 5 pounds of apples, peeled, cored and sliced. (you can use any type of apple you like)
- How much:
- 5 pounds is about 10 medium sized apples or 12 small ones. You will need to roughly chop them into pieces that are about 1/2 inch wide.
- Preparing the Apples:
- Peel your apples with a vegetable peeler or paring knife by cutting off the top end first then rotating the apple around as you go down until you have removed all of the skin from one side. Then flip it over and do the same thing on other side so that all sides are now peeled off completely exposing only flesh underneath which will be eaten later on during baking process but not used for making pie filling itself because we’ll just throw away those chunks anyway once done cooking process is done!
Step 2: Slice and dice the apples.
- Use a sharp knife to cut off the ends of the apples.
- Slice each apple in half, and then dice into small pieces.
Step 3: Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes.
- Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes.
Set a timer for 15 minutes, and then open the oven door to check on your pie. If it still looks raw in the middle, return it to the oven and bake it for another 5 minutes before checking again with toothpicks or forks (to see if they come out clean). You may have to do this two or three times before your apple pie is done!
Step 4: Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees and continue baking for another 35 to 40 minutes, until top is golden brown and filling is bubbling.
After the apple pie has been baking for about 30 minutes, you should be able to tell when it’s done by looking at the top. The edges should be golden brown and the filling will be bubbling. If you have an oven thermometer, check that your oven temperature is accurate and adjust as needed.
The top of your apple pie will also be golden brown when it is ready to come out of the oven!
Step 5: Check pie after 30 minutes of baking time with a toothpick or fork to see if it comes out clean. If not, check every 5 minutes until you do get a clean toothpick or fork.
Now it’s time to check your pie. Use a fork to pierce the center of your pie and see if it comes out clean. If not, check every 5 minutes until you do get a clean toothpick or fork. If your pie has been in the oven for 30 minutes and still doesn’t seem done enough, leave it in for another 10-15 minutes at 425 degrees F (220 C) until ready!
You need more than an hour to cook an apple pie
You need more than an hour to cook an apple pie.
The cooking time depends on the size of your pie, but generally speaking, if you want it to be done in less than an hour, you’ll have to make a small one. The longer you cook it and the bigger your pie is (and vice versa), the better it will taste! Don’t worry if your pie isn’t done when expected; even if it doesn’t look fully baked yet, it will still taste great!
Conclusion
That’s it! You now have a delicious apple pie that you can share with your friends and family.
