If you're looking for the best apple pie recipe in the world, look no further. The filling in this recipe is made with apples, butter, maple syrup, and apple juice, making it incredibly flavorful and satisfying!
If I could only eat one pie on Thanksgiving, I would choose this apple pie every time. I've had some apple pies before that are just not good. If the filling doesn't have a good balance of sweet, with a hint of fall spice like cinnamon, it just isn't very good and not worth eating in my opinion. This apple pie has the perfect balance of fall flavors and will wow the crowd at Thanksgiving dinner.
Best Apple Pie Recipe in the World:
What sets this apple pie apart from other recipes I think is the great balance of flavor in the apple pie filling. You get a lot of tartness from the granny smith apples, but then the combination of sugar, maple syrup, and cinnamon really balances it out well. The mixture is super easy to throw together, by tossing the ingredients together in a bowl and then dumping into your pie crust. It has such a perfectly balanced flavor profile that is not too sweet and not too tart!
Best Apples for Apple Pie
I personally like to use tart apples in an apple pie. This recipe calls for five granny smith apples, which may seem like a lot, but it's really balanced well with the sugar, maple syrup, and apple juice in this recipe. I would also use pink lady apples which offer a great bite and tartness, but I personally wouldn't use a more mild apple such as a red delicious.
Homemade Vs Store Bought Pie Crust
I personally don't have a huge preference and you could use either for this recipe. my pie crusts are typically hit or miss, and I think there are a lot of great quality crusts on the market in the refrigerated section. I know there will be people who disagree, but if making pie crust isn't your thing, buy a pre-made one, and skip straight to the filling.
