Christmas is coming and with it come the need to make desserts. This year I knew I needed to make two apple pies. I decided one would be a traditional pie using my easy apple pie recipe. However, for the second I decide to add a little Whovian fun! Make sure to scroll down to see my Weeping Angel Apple Pie! This Christmas *2018* I also made a Cinnamon apple pie recipe you can find in this post that is simply amazing!

This easy apple pie recipe is the perfect Christmas pie or for a family get together. Even better, you can freezer cook this pie for future meals or serve as a great dessert recipe for family.

Easy Apple Pie Recipe

I found this recipe here and modified it to better suit my taste buds.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds Granny Smith apples
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon Nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie

This easy apple pie recipe is the perfect Christmas pie or for a family get together. Even better, you can freezer cook this pie for future meals or serve as a great dessert recipe for family.

Start by peeling and coring your apples. I find that using a potato peeler helps the job go faster. You can also use an Apple Slicer to make the job go a bit faster. I prefer our apples cut in to smaller pieces for an easier to eat pie. Cut them to your preference.

  • Add flour, sugar, cinnamon, and brown sugar.
  • Coat your apples well.
  •  Lay your crust out in your pie dish.
  • Wet with a small amount of water and dust with sugar.
  • Add your apple mixture to the pie crust.
  • Put small teaspoons of butter in a couple locations on top of the apple mixture.

For the Traditional Apple Pie

This easy apple pie recipe is the perfect Christmas pie or for a family get together. Even better, you can freezer cook this pie for future meals or serve as a great dessert recipe for family.

Place your top pie crust on top of your pie.
Using extra pie crust you can use a cookie cutter to make your Christmas Tree for the center.
I used the pinch method from this video for learning how to the do the crust correctly:

You will need to make small holes in the top of the pie. I used a the point of a steak knife for mine.

Bake at 450 for first 15 minutes.

Turn the oven down to 350 and bake for an additional 45 minutes.

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

  • Add your apple mixture to the pie crust.
  • Put small teaspoons of butter in a couple locations on top of the apple mixture.
  • Do your latice work on the top of the pie. – I recommend rolling out your pie crust and cutting from the middle inward for your strips so you can place your larger strips first.
  • Add butter throughout the pie.

Bake at 450 for first 15 minutes.

Turn the oven down to 350 and bake for an additional 45 minutes.

Weeping Angel Apple Pie

Weeping Angel Apple Pie - Easy Apple Pie Recipe - Easy home made apple pie recipe with a Doctor Who apple pie with weeping angels.

For the Weeping Angel Pie!

I used a pizza slicer to cut out the strips for the basic lattice work.
After that, use a weeping angel cookie cutter or whichever angel cookie cutter you have on hand.

With your remaining pie crust make a bow tie for the center of your pie. After all, bow ties are still cool!

Bake at 450 for first 15 minutes.

Turn the oven down to 350 and bake for an additional 45 minutes.

You can also freeze these pies to use for the coming holiday or for a party that is in a few days.

Did you make one of these pies? How did it come out?

    I've never tried baking a home-made pie. That looks doable. Maybe this will be the year.
