My grandma's secret apple pie recipe that makes everyone ask for seconds 🥧

Went back to basics with this apple pie recipe that took me three attempts to get just right. The key is keeping everything cold - the butter, the water, even the flour. I grate frozen butter directly into the flour mixture for the flakiest crust imaginable. For the filling, a mix of Granny Smith and Honeycrisp apples creates the perfect balance of tart and sweet. Tossing the sliced apples with lemon juice prevents browning while I prepare the spice mixture. A tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with the sugar helps thicken the juices during baking. The most important step? Letting the pie cool completely before slicing - at least two hours. This allows the filling to set properly, so it doesn't run all over the plate when served. A final sprinkle of turbinado sugar on the crust before baking gives it that professional bakery crunch. #applepierecipe #homemadepie #bakingfromscratch #Food #Cooking
