Here is a recipe for making Church's Apple Pie:
Ingredients:
- 6-7 medium-sized apples (peeled, cored, and sliced)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (cut into small pieces)
- 2 pre-made pie crusts (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (for sprinkling on top)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, salt, and lemon juice. Mix well until all the apple slices are coated evenly. Set aside for 10-15 minutes to allow the apples to release some juice.
3. Roll out one of the pie crusts and line a 9-inch pie dish with it.
4. Pour the apple mixture into the pie crust, ensuring it is evenly spread and mound it slightly in the center. Dot the apples with butter pieces.
5. Roll out the second pie crust and place it on top of the apple filling. Trim off any excess crust hanging over the edges, leaving about ½ inch overhang. Fold the edges of both crusts together and crimp with your fingers or a fork to seal the pie.
6. Cut a few slits on the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
7. Optional: Brush the top crust with the beaten egg wash and sprinkle some granulated sugar over it to create a golden, crunchy top.
8. Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any overflow during baking and place it in the preheated oven.
9. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
10. Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the filling to set.
11. Serve slices of Church's Apple Pie warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.
Enjoy your delicious Church's Apple Pie!
