Ingredients
  

  • 2 Cups All-Purpose Flour For making the pie crust or use store-bought crust.
  • 1/2 Tsp Salt To enhance the flavor of the crust.
  • 1 Cup Unsalted Butter Cold and cubed, for a flaky pie crust.
  • 1/4 Cup Ice Water To bind the crust dough.
  • 1 Can Apple Pie Filling Approximately 21 ounces, for the sweet apple base.
  • 1/2 Cup Granulated Sugar Optional, to adjust sweetness if needed.
  • 1 Tsp Ground Cinnamon For added warmth and flavor.
  • 1/4 Tsp Nutmeg Optional, to enhance the spice profile.
  • 1 Tbsp Lemon Juice Balances the sweetness of the filling.
  • 1 Piece Egg For egg wash to achieve a golden crust.
  • 1 Tbsp Milk Mixed with egg for egg wash.

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Pie Crust
    In a mixing bowl, combine flour and salt.
  • Add cold, cubed butter and mix using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together.
  • Divide the dough into two equal portions, shape into disks, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the Oven
    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch pie dish lightly.
  • Roll Out the Crust
    On a floured surface, roll out one dough disk into a 12-inch circle.
  • Carefully transfer it to the prepared pie dish, pressing it gently into the edges.
  • Prepare the Filling
    In a bowl, mix the canned apple pie filling with cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Adjust sweetness with sugar if needed.
  • Assemble the Pie
    Pour the filling evenly into the crust-lined pie dish.
  • Roll out the second dough disk into another 12-inch circle and place it over the filling.
  • Trim the excess dough, then crimp the edges with a fork or your fingers to seal.
  • Add Vent Holes and Egg Wash
    Use a knife to cut slits in the top crust for steam to escape.
  • Beat the egg with milk and brush it over the top crust for a golden finish.
  • Bake the Pie
    Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 45–50 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  • Check halfway through and cover the edges with foil if they brown too quickly.
  • Cool and Serve
    Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a cooling rack for at least 20 minutes before serving.
  • Slice, serve, and enjoy your homemade apple pie!
