This classic and easy to make Apple Pie recipe is delicious, quick, and can be a great dish to bake with the kids on a cozy Sunday morning.

To make the Apple Pie even better and easier I want to tell you briefly about our KPKitchen Silicone Pastry Mat that makes rolling out dough and making pie finally really easy and changed the lives of so many of our customers (literally, you will never go back to using something else for rolling dough again). 

Product Spotlight of the Week: KPKitchen Silicone Pastry Mat

Our specially designed extra large KPKitchen Silicone Pastry Mat measures 31,5x23,5 inches which means you have enough space to prepare all kinds of dough.

The various markings of measurements in the form of circles (8'' & 10'' perfect for the apple pie), inches, temperature conversation, centimeters & measurement conversion helps reducing the use of a calculator to convert in your recipe. No more eyeballing it, guessing, or making your phone messy!

Our KPKitchen Silicone Pastry Mat is perfect for rolling out any dough because thanks to its anti-slip material, it will stay in place and stick to the surface. It does not slip, slide or move around. It just sticks like it‘s glued down, but lifts easily for removal or repositioning so you can concentrate on rolling out the perfect dough.

This classic and easy to make Apple Pie recipe is delicious, quick, and can be a great dish to bake with the kids on a cozy Sunday morning.

Ingredients

• 4 Honeycrisp Apples, peeled and sliced into ¼ inch slices
• ¼ Cup Brown Sugar 
• ¼ Cup Granulated Sugar 
• 1 Lemon, zest and juice 
• 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon 
• 1 tsp Ground Nutmeg 
• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract 
• 1 Egg, for brushing

For the Pie Crust:

• 2 ¼ Cups All Purpose Flour
• 1 tsp Salt 
• 1 tbsp Granulated Sugar 
• 16 tbsp (2 sticks) Cold Unsalted Butter, cubed 

For the homemade Whipped Cream:

• 1 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream 
• ½ Cup Powdered Sugar 
• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
• ¼ tsp Cream of Tartar

Tools used in this Recipe

• Pie baking pan or a 9 inch round pan
• KPKitchen Silicone Pastry Mat 
• KPKitchen Liquid Measuring Cups 
• KPKitchen Stainless Steel Measuring Cups and Spoons Set

Directions

1. To make the pie crust combine the flour, salt, sugar, and butter in a food processor using the KPKitchen Stainless Steel Measuring Cups. Pulse until the mix looks like small couscous grains.

2. Roll out on the KPKitchen Silicone Pastry Mat until the dough becomes smooth and form a ball. Cut the ball into two and form two separate balls.

3. Place a large piece of plastic wrap on top of each ball. Using a rolling pin start rolling out the dough into think 9-10 inch circle with the help of the markings on your KPKitchen Silicone Pastry Mat.

4. Repeat with the other dough ball. Refrigerate the dough at least one hour before using.
5. Preheat the oven to 400F.

6. In a large bowl combine the apples, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extrac with the help of your KPKitchen Stainless Steel Measuring Cups. Toss to combine.

7. Place the apples on top. Then take the other dough and place it on your KPKitchen Silicone Pastry Mat. Cut it into even strips with a dough scraper on the mat (you can use the outside markings on the mat to get them sized perfectly) and line every other strip on top of the apples. Then take the rest of the strips and braid them into the strips that are already on the pie.

8. Brush with the egg and cover the sides with aluminum foil. This will prevent the edges from burning.
9. Bake for about 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 20 minutes.
10. Cool off before serving.

11. Pour heavy cream into a large mixing bowl. Using the whisk attachment of your stand or hand mixer, beat the whipped cream on medium-high speed until it begins to thicken.

12. Add sugar, vanilla extract, and cream of tartar. Increase to high speed, and continue to beat until soft peaks form.

13. Top your apple pie with your selfmade whipped cream and enjoy!
