Apple pie: American icon and most popular pie. Use the sugar-crumb topping in the notes for a simpler baking experience or try the lattice- or rose-topped pie for a more challenging bake.
For a simple sugar-crumb crust in place of a pastry top crust, work together 1/2 cup each sugar, unbleached all-purpose flour, and butter (8 tablespoons), plus a pinch of salt, until sandy textured. Sprinkle atop the pie in place of the top crust; save the remaining top-crust pastry for another single-crust pie.
Cooking time includes chilling and baking times.
Changing the recipe size does not change the instructions. Specific ingredient amounts in the instructions will need to be adjusted accordingly.
