If your favorite part of a classic apple pie is the filling, where all those soft apples are covered in a cinnamon-sugar sauce, then you need to make our very best deep-dish apple pie recipe. A deep-dish apple pie is baked in, well, a deep dish, like a 13×9-inch pan. This means there\u2019s a lot more room to pile in a mountain of apples, so there\u2019s even more filling. Of course, the quintessential flaky pie crust is baked right on top until it\u2019s golden brown and the filling becomes bubbly and thick.<\/p>\n
Honestly, the hardest part about this recipe is letting the pie cool after baking (no burnt tongues, please!). Serve slices a la mode, and you\u2019ll see why this recipe for deep-dish apple pie is a true keeper.<\/p>\n
Place the all-purpose flour in a large bowl. Using a pastry cutter, fork tines or your fingers, cut in the shortening until the mixture becomes crumbly.<\/p>\n In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, cold water and white vinegar. Gradually add the egg mixture to the crumbly mixture, stirring gently just until the dough comes together.<\/p>\n Shape the pie dough into a rectangle. Wrap it well in storage wrap and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes or, ideally, overnight.<\/p>\n Editor\u2019s Tip:<\/em> The longer the pie dough has to chill, the more flavorful it will become. Plus, it\u2019ll chill thoroughly so it stays nice and flaky.<\/p>\n Preheat the oven to 375\u00b0F. In a large bowl, toss together the apples with the lemon juice.<\/p>\n In a small bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, all-purpose flour, cinnamon and nutmeg. Add the sugar and spice mixture to the apple mixture and toss everything together until all the apple slices are coated evenly.<\/p>\n Pour the filling into a 13×9-inch baking dish and spread out the apples evenly. Dot the top of the filling with pats of butter.<\/p>\n On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pie dough big enough to fit over the top of the pie.<\/p>\n Place the pie crust over the filling. Trim the pie crust down a bit and flute the edges. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg with the milk to make the egg wash. Brush the egg wash over the crust.<\/p>\n Using a paring knife, cut a few slits in the crust to allow steam to escape.<\/p>\n Slide the pie into the oven and bake until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender, 40 to 50 minutes. Carefully remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool at room temperature on a wire rack.<\/p>\n Editor\u2019s Tip:<\/em>\u00a0Any time I bake fruit pies, I always put a baking sheet on the rack that\u2019s underneath the pie, just in case the filling bubbles over a little bit. That way, I only have to clean the baking sheet, not the bottom of my oven! If the crust is taking on too much color before the filling is done, make a\u00a0pie crust shield<\/a>\u00a0to protect the edges.<\/p>\n To store deep-dish apple pie, allow it to cool completely to room temperature, then cover it tightly with storage wrap. This pie can sit at room temperature for one day or last in the fridge for up to five days.<\/p>\n Yes, you can make this recipe for deep-dish apple pie ahead of time. Allow the pie to cool to room temperature, then cover it with storage wrap and store it at room temperature for one day. You can also freeze the pie for up to two months. Thaw it overnight in the fridge.<\/p>\n This deep-dish apple pie recipe works best in a 13×9 dish, but you can scale it down to make a more traditional apple pie shape in a classic 9-inch pie pan. If you have a 4-quart baking dish, that\u2019s probably the best swap!<\/p>\n If you\u2019re looking for the best apples for apple pie<\/a> and you don\u2019t want to dig too deep, go ahead and pick up a bag of Granny Smith. They\u2019re everyone\u2019s go-to apples for baking because they\u2019re tart and firm, keeping their shape while providing a perfect balance to the sweet ingredients. Otherwise, any tart, firm apples will do. Avoid mealy, soft apples like McIntosh.<\/p>\n Serve deep-dish apple pie warm (not hot!) from the oven, although many people like to eat their apple pie at room temperature or even chilled. Scoop the best vanilla ice cream<\/a> on each slice, or dollop a cloud of sweetened whipped cream<\/a> on top.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Where slab pies are for crust lovers, deep-dish pies are for fans of the filling.

Just wanted to add my \"two cents worth\" to say that when I make my apple pies, I use Tapioca (out of the box) instead of flour to thicken and also add extra cinnamon. I always use Granny Smith apples, too. The Tapioca thickens the filling but adds a really nice, extra flavor. I am almost 70 years old, have been making apple pies for many years from my grandmother and mother's recipe and don't think it matters what shape the pan is as long as the ingredients are correct and the pie is done.

One guy told me it was the best pie he'd ever eaten, and, quote \"I've eaten a lot of pies\". It might be good to note that he said one of the contributing factors was how thin the apples were. So just be sure to take your time and enjoy what you're doing.These are the adjustments I made:I used a combination of apples, three granny smith, three red delicious and two jonagold.Taking the advice of other reviewers, I added 1\\3 cup of each sugar instead of 1\/4. I threw in a tablespoon of cinnamon and added a few shakes of cloves. My apples were big so I used about half a lemon to coat, and made sure the T of flour were heaping. I used apple cider vinegar instead of white, because white vinegar has a sharp taste, and using apple cider vinegar just seemed obvious to me.I didn't have any shortening on hand, so I substituted coconut oil, which imparted a really nice flavor to the crust. Next time I will either add more water, or 3\/4 C of the oil, since the crust was a little hard to work with and seemed too dry. This made it challenging to roll out but not impossible...to the reviewer complaining about uneven crust, that is purely up to the technique with which you roll out the dough and not the fault of the recipe.Overall it's a great outline, and with a few tweaks makes a fantastic pie. I'm sure it's even better hot, as I had to wait until the next day to cut it, so I'll definitely be trying this again!","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2016-06-28","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"raspberryh"},"reviewBody":"Hi, I actually have a question.

Try checking your local thrift shops (Salvation Army or Good Will) for older Pyrex pans, I've found some great bargains there. I have also heard about the shattering of the newer pans, never had it happen but then my pans are all from my early married days 45 years ago, LOL!!

I was disappointed with the overpowering nutmeg taste, then again the lack of flavor in the crust due to no salt in the recipe. The filling was rather dry and bland except for the flavor of my apples themselves, which was the only redeeming part of this whole dish. This pie reminds me of some my mother would make when she didn't have a clue or else didn't care, because she knew we kids would eat anything anyway. Yes, this recipe does seem to be a good, simple, easy recipe--and that's what I thought when reading it--but in my opinion is not worthy of a true apple pie lover's recipe box.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":1,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2014-08-20","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"Blondieroberts"},"reviewBody":"I made this pie years ago.
