Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with sugar, flour, cinnamon, salt, and lemon juice until evenly coated.
Place one pie crust into a pie dish, fill it with the apple mixture, and top with the second crust. Seal the edges, trim excess dough, and cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
Gather 6-8 peeled and sliced apples (a mix of sweet and tart varieties), 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, a pinch of salt, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and two pre-made pie crusts (or homemade if you prefer).
Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling. If the edges brown too quickly, cover them with foil.
Let the pie cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before slicing. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the perfect treat.
Drizzle a luscious caramel sauce over the top just before serving. This extra touch adds a sweet, buttery flavor that complements the apples perfectly, turning your homemade pie into a gourmet delight.
Have fun with your pie crust by experimenting with creative designs. A visually appealing crust adds an artistic flair to your apple pie, whether it's a lattice pattern, braids, or cut-out shapes.
