Serving: Apple pie is delicious on its own or paired with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
Storage: Leftovers can be stored at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerated for up to 5 days. Reheat individual slices in the microwave or oven for the best experience.
Variants:
Crumb Topping: Instead of a traditional top crust, you can make a crumb topping by combining 1/2 cup of flour, 1/2 cup of sugar, and 1/4 cup of butter, crumbling it over the apples before baking.
Spiced Apple Pie: Add a pinch of ground cloves, allspice, or ginger to the filling for a spicier flavor.
Caramel Apple Pie: Drizzle caramel sauce over the apple mixture before adding the top crust for a rich, sweet twist.
FAQ:
1. Can I use pre-made pie crusts?
Yes, you can use pre-made pie crusts for convenience. Simply follow the instructions for the crust and filling, and bake as directed.

3. Can I freeze apple pie?
Yes, you can freeze unbaked apple pie. Simply assemble the pie, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil, and freeze for up to 3 months. Bake directly from the freezer, adding an extra 10-15 minutes to the baking time.
