In the heart of our family traditions lies a beloved recipe for apple pie that has stood the test of time. We’re excited to share the magic with you, and don’t worry – it’s simpler than you might think!

Ingredients for the Crust:

• 1 stick of butter
• 3 1/2 tbsp ice water
• 2 1/4 cups flour
• 1/4 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt

Begin by cutting the butter into a mixture of flour, salt, and baking powder. Ensure it turns a delightful buttery color and is thoroughly mixed. Add the ice water, lightly mix with a fork, and then roll the dough onto a floured board.

Preheat your oven to 450.

Ingredients for the Filling:

• Approximately 1 lb thinly sliced, peeled apples
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
• Lemon juice
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp nutmeg
• 1/2 tsp ground ginger
• Tiny pinch of salt
• Minuscule pinch of allspice or cloves (be cautious – it’s potent!)
• 1/3 cup dark molasses
• 1/3 cup water, or less
• 1/4 cup flour

Mix the apple slices with the sugars, spices, molasses, and water until well-covered. Add a dash of lemon juice, stir, and then sprinkle in the flour to prevent the mixture from being too runny.

Place the apple mixture into a well-greased 9-inch pie plate with a pricked pie shell. If you’d like, you can make a full pie – the apples will cook down. Cover it with a second crust, make slits for ventilation, and crimp the edges.

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until the pie crust “sets.” Reduce the oven temperature to 350 and continue baking for about an hour or until the mixture bubbles out, and a knife inserted into the apples comes out easily.

When the pie is juicing, and the apples are soft, it’s done! Enjoy the warm, comforting aroma of our family’s apple pie – a delightful treat that’s been bringing smiles for generations.
