GRANNY MAC APPLE PIE

I called this recipe Granny Mac because I used a combination of Granny Smith and McIntosh apples.

The internet once told me you should use tart apples like Granny Smith to make apple pie but I couldn’t in good conscience turn my back on McIntosh apples.

I compromised and used half of each. Of course, before we start dealing with apples we have to address the crust…

The final result was glorious. I let it cool completely overnight before slicing into it. It was one of those few times I know I blew Em away with how good it was. That always feels nice when cooking for a family.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 pie crusts (homemade crust recipe above)
  • 8 apples (4 Granny Smith, 4 McIntosh preferably) peeled, cored, and sliced thin
  • ⅓ cup white sugar plus extra for dusting
