Apple Pie is a comforting dessert which is perfect to bake during fall season. Apple pie made using apples, sugar, raisins, butter and cinnamon. This apple pie is easy to make like my pineapple pie , strawberry lattice pie and pumpkin pie and taste so delicious with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
About Apple Pie
Apple pie is an english dessert which comes from britain. It is made with apples, sugar, cinnamon and raisins. The filling is stuffed inside a shortcrust pastry and baked till golden. Apple pie makes a integral part in a dinner menu during thanksgiving, halloween and christmas family dinners.
This is a yummiest dish ever. This dish calls for shortcrust pastry. Try to use crunchy apple for this and you could also add some nutmeg in this. It gives a nice flavour. And also you could skip the normal sugar with brown sugar for lovely colour and sticky texture.
So hope you all give this a try and let me know what you think.

Apple Pie with Cooked Filling
In this recipe I have used raw apples which I have used as filling. Since the baking time is longer the apples will cook in that time.
But if you are baking for a lesser time, then you can cook your apple filling before hand. It is easy to make as well. I have shared the apple pie with cooked filling in the video.
- Heat butter in a pan.
- Add peeled sliced apples along with sugar, raisins, orange zest and orange juice.
- Once apple is cooked add some cornflour slurry and mix well till it thickens.
- Add cinnamon powder and any flavouring as you like.
- Don't forget to add a pinch of salt.
- Cool this down and use this as filling.
