Tips
Cold ingredients matter
Cold butter and ice-cold water create the flakiest crust.
Don’t skip the salt
Salt enhances both the crust and the apple filling.
Cornstarch substitute
Flour can be used instead of cornstarch, but stir well to avoid lumps.
Prevent over-browning
Cover loosely with foil if the top browns too quickly.
Apple Pie FAQs
Can I make it ahead?
Yes, up to 2 days ahead. Store covered in the fridge or 1 day at room temperature.
Can I freeze apple pie?
Yes, baked or unbaked, for up to 2 months when well wrapped.
Best apples to use
Granny Smith is classic, but Honeycrisp or Jonathan work beautifully too.
Why apple cider vinegar?
In the crust, it helps keep it flaky. In the filling, it adds depth without tasting like vinegar.
Serving Suggestions
Serve slightly warm with whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or warm vanilla sauce. Slice carefully once fully cooled for the cleanest presentation.
