    All American Apple Pie Recipe

    April 8, 2021 by Kyle Leave a Comment

    This homemade apple pie recipe combines tart apples with some sweetness and a flakey buttery crust!

    What could be more American than good ol’ apple pie?! I make this dessert for just about any occasion.

    This is one of our family’s favorite desserts. Some of us like it alone, some of us like it with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream and some of us like it topped with whipped cream or caramel sauce.

    No matter what your sweet tooth desires, I’m sure you would prefer it homemade.

    Trust me, it is easy to prepare! Start with Anna's easy no-fail pie crust.

    If you have never made pie crust before, trust me, it is not difficult and trying our crust here on Great 8 Friends will be easy and a sure winner.

    Or if you are in a time crunch, pick up a pre-made pie crust in the refrigerated section of your local market.

    This recipe was from my Aunt Eileen who would just mix up ingredients and out of the oven would be the most beautiful looking and wonderful smelling pie.

    When I asked her for the recipe, well, she did her best to write down what she does. Once you make this you'll also agree that hers is the best!

    Grandpa Dwight loved apple pie and decided one day to show Jack just how easy it is!
