The Best Apple Pie Ever – So, what makes this apple pie so special? Let’s take a look at some key ingredients. The type of apple you use does make a difference. I use granny smith, but I’ve successfully made it with other varieties. As long as you choose a hard, tart apple, the end result will be delicious.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 batches of my one minute homemade pie crust (see notes) ((or 1 if you roll it out very thinly!))
- 7-8 small granny smith apples (peeled, sliced, and cored)
