Contrary to what a lot of people think, apple pie is almost exclusively an American thing. We don't make pies in Spain, I haven't seen them in Italy, England or France. One wonders how we survive at all.
So when I went home in October (I know, post long due), I made apple pie to bring to my aunt's. As a tradeoff, she made me the most delicious paella in the world. I won't accept any arguments with that.
I think the only 'hard' part of making pie is the crust. I swear by Smitten Kitchen's all butter crust. The only trick is to work as fast as you can to avoid melting the butter.
Once you have the crust cooling down in the fridge, get ready to peel and slice about 7-8 medium sized apples. I know most people use granny smith and or McIntosh, however I used Braeburn. Once peeled and chopped, toss the apples with about 1/2 cup brown sugar and the juice of two lemons. This will prevent some of the discoloration you get from apple oxidation.
Let the apples sit for about 30 min in the sugar/lemon mixture. In the meantime, roll your dough. Once the apples are ready, roll the bottom crust of the pie and place your apples nice and pretty in your pan.
If you're into the lattice top crust, go ahead and cut the rest of your dough in strips. For a tutorial on how to do it best, check this.
Now you can bake your pie at 350 F for about 50-60 min or until the apple juices are bubbling.
