If you want to make an apple pie but don’t want to spend too much time prepping the pie dough, this pie is perfect for you! This recipe uses little simple ingredients and is the easiest way to make pie.

Instructions

• Preheat an oven to 200c (400f), and let your puff pastry thaw for about 2 hours (before preheating the oven) or until it’s easy to work with.
• Start by making the apple pie filling. Peel, core, and slice the apples into medium-sized slices (not too thinly). I use an apple peeler and corer to make this process quick and easy.
• Into a large mixing bowl, add the sliced apples, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and mix with a spoon until well combined.
• Add the flour and mix until there are no pockets of flour visible and the mixture is well combined.
• Prapare the puff pastry by cutting it 1 to 2 inches bigger than the pie pan. Arrange the first puff pastry sheet in the 9 inch pie pan.
• Place the apples on top of the first crust. Spread it with a wooden spoon or a spoon until the apples are evenly distributed.
• Top the apple filling with the second layer of puff pastry and tightly seal the edges using your clean fingers.
• Make slits on the top of the pie using a knife. Brush the top of the pie with egg wash and sprinkle coarse sugar on top.
• Bake in a 200c (400f) preheated oven in the middle rack for about an hour, maybe 75 minutes, until the apples are cooked through and the juices are bubbling and the crust is golden brown.
• Let the pie cool completly at room temperature and serve with a large scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce!
