    Apple pie is perfect for any occasion, but it's especially good for summer celebrations.

    This recipe was inspired by my baked apple bites and goes well with a glass of milk and some strawberry or vanilla ice cream!

    FAQ

    Can I make apple pie ahead of time?

    A freshly baked pie can stay on the counter for up to 2 days and in the fridge for 5 days. You should cover your pie with plastic wrap when you put it away.

    How do I thinly slice apples for apple pie?

    Apples should be sliced as thin as possible. A peeler and corer is the perfect tool for slicing apples into thin slices.

    How do I place the pie crust on the pie pan?

    Pie crust should be pressed firmly against the sides and bottom of the pan before pouring in the filling. Make sure to poke the crust with a fork first.

    Can I sprinkle the crust with granulated sugar?

    You can, but make sure to brush the crust with egg first.

    How many mixing bowls do I need to make an apple pie?

    For this gluten-free, dairy-free recipe, you need only one mixing bowl.

    Equipment

    • A pastry brush - essential for brushing the crust with egg. Find mine HERE.
    • A pie pan - find my favorite one HERE.
    • Kitchen shears - useful for trimming the excess dough from the edge of the pie pan. Find mine HERE.
    • Glass mixing bowls - find my favorite set HERE.

    Storage

    Wait until the pie fully cools (about 2 hours). Loosely cover with foil or plastic wrap. Store in the fridge for up 5 days. 

    Top tip

    Use a ribbon to measure the pie crust strips. It's way easier than using a ruler, and you definitely have a spare ribbon around the house.
