Ingredients

Scale

6–8 medium Granny Smith or Honeycrisp apples
3/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust based on apple sweetness)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 pie crust (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash, peel, core, and thinly slice the apples.
In a mixing bowl, combine sliced apples with sugar, cinnamon, and flour. Let sit for 10 minutes to develop juices.
Roll out one pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate, leaving some overhang.
Fill the crust with the apple mixture and dot with butter. Cover with the second rolled-out crust; seal edges by crimping.
Bake at 425°F for 15 minutes, then reduce temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for another 30-35 minutes until golden brown.
Allow cooling before slicing and serving.
