Mom’s apple pie might be a cliché, but others have tried and failed to rival my mom’s recipe. My siblings and I panic when anyone else takes the holiday apple pie assignment and make sure Mom is making hers, too.

Mom's Maple-Apple Pie Recipe

Prep: 30 min. Bake: 40 min. + cooling

Yield: 8 Servings

30 40 70

Ingredients

1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 medium tart apples, peeled and thinly sliced (about 2-1/4 pounds)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 (14.1 ounces) refrigerated pie pastry
2 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons maple syrup, divided
Warm maple syrup, optional

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the first five ingredients. In a large bowl, toss apples with lemon juice. Add sugar mixture; toss to coat.
Unroll one pastry sheet into a 9-in. pie plate; trim even with rim. Add filling. Dot with butter; drizzle with 2 tablespoons maple syrup. Unroll remaining pastry; place over filling. Trim, seal and flute edge. Cut slits in top. Brush pastry with 1 tablespoon maple syrup.
Bake at 425° for 40-45 minutes or until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly. Cover pie loosely with foil during the last 20 minutes if needed to prevent overbrowning. Remove foil. Cool on a wire rack. If desired, serve with warm maple syrup. Yield: 8 servings.
