There’s nothing better than the smell of the fresh apple pie baking in the oven. It signifies the start of cozy fall days, and it’s the ultimate dessert to kick off the season. This recipe uses Betty’s pie crust mix so you can skip chilling your pastry dough and get right to the baking part—meaning less time waiting around for pie and more time eating it! Apple pie is best served warm with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.

Ingredients

  • 1 box (11 oz) Betty Crocker™ Pie Crust Mix
  • 1/3 cup cold water
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 5 cups thinly sliced peeled apples (3 large)
  • 1 tablespoon butter or margarine
  • Milk
  • Additional sugar
Make With
Gold Medal Flour

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 425°F. Make pie crust mix as directed for 9-Inch Two-Crust Pie, using 1/3 cup cold water--except trim overhanging edge of bottom pastry 1 inch from rim of plate.
  • 2
    Stir together 1/2 cup sugar, the flour, cinnamon and nutmeg in large bowl. Add apples; toss. Spoon into pastry-lined pie plate. Dot with butter.
  • 3
    Roll remaining pastry; cut into 10 strips, each about 1/2 inch wide. Place 5 strips across filling in pie plate. Weave a cross-strip through by first folding back every other strip of the first 5 strips. Continue weaving, folding back alternate strips before adding each cross-strip, until lattice is complete. Trim ends. Fold trimmed edge of bottom crust over ends of strips, building up a high edge. Seal and flute. Brush lightly with milk; sprinkle lightly with additional sugar.

    Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until crust is golden brown and juice is bubbly.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Serve fresh apple pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, warm caramel sauce or whipped cream.
  • tip 2
    If you can’t find Betty’s pie crust mix, we love using Pillsbury’s premade pie crust. Or if you want to make your own pie crust from scratch, try using our Perfect Baked Pie Crust. It only calls for four ingredients and is totally worth the effort.
  • tip 3
    Ever wonder what apple you should use to bake pies? We recommend using a firm, crisp apple like Granny Smith, Honey Crisp or Pink Lady. They will hold their shape better when cooking in a pie. For more tips, here’s our guide on How to Bake with Apples.
