This classic, old-fashioned apple pie recipe is an american classic. With a double buttery crust and a perfectly spiced, sweet filling, the only thing that can make this apple pie better is a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Serve as part of thanksgiving dessert or another holiday spread, at an autumn potluck, or after a plentiful day of apple picking. This homemade apple pie is extra easy if you use premade pie crusts, but feel free to make your own pie crust if you have the time. The simple but delicious pie filling of sliced apples, sugar, and spices doesn't require any cooking before you bake the pie. Use flour or cornstarch to thicken the filling and help prevent a soggy bottom crust. For an extra special treat, serve with vanilla or cinnamon ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. A drizzle of caramel sauce is lovely, too.
