🥧 Unbelievably Good Shredded Apple Pie
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Bake Time: 45–50 minutes
Total Time: ~1 hour 10 minutes
Servings: 8 slices
📝 Ingredients:
- 1 unbaked pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 5–6 medium apples, peeled and shredded (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
👩🍳 Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 9-inch pie plate with the crust and flute the edges.
- In a large bowl, toss shredded apples with sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and lemon juice. Let sit for 5–10 minutes to release juices.
- Spoon the apple mixture evenly into the pie crust and drizzle with melted butter.
- Optional: Top with a lattice crust or a simple crumb topping.
- Bake for 45–50 minutes, until golden brown and bubbly. Cover edges with foil if browning too fast.
- Cool slightly before serving — best enjoyed warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
✅ Tips:
- Shredding apples makes the filling soft, moist, and extra flavorful — no big chunks!
- Add a handful of chopped walnuts or raisins for extra texture.
- For a firmer set, cool completely before slicing.
🧊 Storage:
- Store covered at room temp for 1 day, or refrigerate up to 4 days.
- Reheat slices in the oven or microwave.
