Marky’s Favorite Apple Pie

This recipe is from my sister, Heather, and is a favorite of my brother, Mark. Heather wrote, “I love apple pie that actually tastes like apples and doesn’t drown that flavor out in a ton of cinnamon and spices. This recipe does that perfectly, and, as the title suggests, is also a favorite of my brother Mark. I prefer using Jonagold apples, but this would also be good with Golden Delicious or even a mixture of the two. Possibly even MacIntosh.”

Marky's Favorite Apple Pie

  • Total time: 1 Hour 30 Minutes
  • Servings: 1 Pie

Ingredients

  • Double Pie Crust (for 9-10 in. pie plate)
  • 1/2 Cup Butter
  • 3 Tbsp Flour
  • 1/2 Cup Sugar
  • 1/2 Cup Packed Brown Sugar
  • 1/4 Cup Water
  • 8 Jonagold Apples, peeled and sliced, and cut into chunky pieces

Directions

  • 1)

    Preheat oven to 425°F.

  • 2)

    In a saucepan, melt the butter. Add the flour and stir to form a paste. Add the sugar, brown sugar and water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer the syrup for about 5 minutes.

  • 3)

    Meanwhile, place your bottom crust in your pie plate with the crust overlapping the edges of the pie plate. Fill with the apples, slightly mounding them in the center. Then take the hot syrup and pour it all over the apples.

  • 4)

    Cover the top of the pie with your top crust and seal the edges, then crimp with a fluted edge. Cut several large slits in the top of the crust to allow the pie to vent as it cooks.

  • 5)

    Bake at 425°F for 15 minutes.

  • 6)

    Reduce temperature to 350°F and continue baking for 35-45 minutes more.

  • 7)

    Let cool completely.

  • 8)

    This is even better when made the day before and chilled in the fridge before serving.

  • 9)

    This recipe fits better in a 10-inch pie plate when I make it, but if your apples are smaller then a 9-inch will do.
