Deliciously Perfect Apple Pie & Crust

You know that deep dish apple pie that Costco sells? I usually daydream about it at least twice a day, seriously. It is so perfect. Plenty of soft apples spiced up just right inside of a thick flaky crust, the perfect apple pie. Last time we were home I bought one for dinner, my dinner, with a tub of vanilla bean ice cream. It was the perfect dinner, dessert, and breakfast the next day. And no, I didn’t share if you were wondering.So my apple pie craving has come to Costa Rica and I just had to have it out last night. I was feeling lazy but knew that an apple pie wasn’t going to bake itself so I put on a good TV show and started.

Delicious Rating: First the crust. Very simple with a food processor and by far the best pie crust I have ever eaten in my life, no joke. It is flaky, soft, crusty, and tastes amazing on its own which I think a pie crust should be able to do. The Apple Pie filling is delicious to in this easy recipe. I cut the apples up thinly and tossed with a few ingredients. Let them sit while I rolled out the crusts so that all the juices could flow. I didn’t add all the juice to the pie so that it wouldn’t be overly soggy. It was perfect. I am thinking another tomorrow… This is my 98th recipe so two more to kick off the 100th Recipe Giveaway!

Hi! I tried this recipe and it is absolutely delicious! I want to make it again for my family this Christmas, would you know how long I can keep the pastry refrigerated for? If possible, I want to start desserts a few days before everyone gets here. Thank you! Keep the recipes coming 🙂

You can keep the dough wrapped for a few days in the fridge. You can keep the whole pie, unbaked, in the fridge for 1-2 days, or freeze it and just add some time to the baking. If you bake the pie, it can stay out for two days and an additional two days in the fridge, or 4 days max in the fridge. Hope this helps Amanda!
