Homemade apple pie is a timeless, all-time favorite dessert for many. Crafting an apple pie from scratch is fulfilling in so many ways. It's a process that, once mastered, is satisfying and a dessert that, when eaten, is delightful. Begin by making a buttery, flaky pie crust with basic pantry staples. Then, fill the crust with freshly sliced apples tossed in sugar, spices, and a touch of citrus. As the pie bakes, the crust turns golden brown with a glistening finish thanks to egg wash and a sugar sprinkle. Serve up generous slices crowned with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
