Claire, the flavor of this apple pie was incredible! It will be my new go-to. It set just right, no soggy bottoms, and the sweet/tart/spice was well balanced and allowed the taste of apple to shine! I was also a big fan of the crumble topping :) such a versatile topping for future bakes. I rarely comment, but this was a gem of a recipe. Thanks!

[@bartlettnik]

I like to let the apples sit in the sugar coating and release some juices for 30 minutes then reduce the syrup to add an almost caramel like flavour before putting them into the shell. Also helps reduce the risk of a soggy crust :)

[@ElleAlexandria]

Oooh great tip!

[@bartlettnik]

@@ElleAlexandria thank you! 😊 I skip the cornstarch at first, let the apples sit in the sugar and cinnamon, then reduce the syrup by half and then mix it back in the apples with the cornstarch.

I kept thinking “if she posts all her recipes no one’s gonna buy the book”! But then I realized that this is an amazing business move. Yes, book sales might slow down just a little bit but even then the videos will make constant revenue. Rather than one hundred thousand book sales, she can has that many views and even more over time. It’s honestly genius. And also providing a more visual aid for her recipes. It’s all literally perfect.

[@AvaSwarup]

[@daisypokhrel-duran1768]

I created this pie for the second time for Fourth of July. The first time I did it, I couldn’t taste it because I lost my tastebuds after COVID. This second time, I appreciated all the flavor from the crust, crumble, and apples. It’s the best apple pie I have tasted. Thank you for creating recipes that showcase the fruit and don’t drench it with loads of sugar.

[@elizaheathen]

*great to see an oat crumble topping so I don't stress tf out with my top crust assembly this year*

[@NotContinuum]

I always liked Alton Brown's idea of mixing sugar with the apples to draw out some of the moisture. This helps prevent dome collapse, which isn't an issue here but still a nice thought for other pies.

[@felishawood1904]

I baked this pie yesterday in preparation for today, and it was absolutely incredible. I've never made a pie before, and I really appreciate what an exceptional teacher Claire is. I felt so accomplished enjoying this pie with my family today, and could hardly believe I was the one that made it! lol So thankful!

[@lechatbotte.]

Every episode Claire kicks it up not just a notch but several. When I think this is her best, she outdoes herself. Pie x pi more pie. Apple isn’t my favorite pie but I do like it especially with the right apples. Hey Vinny the subtitles should say ingredients below but BUY the book that way you’ve got it whenever you want it. I saw that, the snow falling outside the window very twiksey hee hee. Then a fox and a cow 🐄 I’m dying Vinny is slaying it today.

[@paolorecto8063]

Made this right away! Just swapped vinegar with lemon juice. Also added some nutmeg and a little clove. The sweetness is spot-on. The crust, flaky as ever (ugh good pie takes a long time to cook). The crumble, what a lifesaver! Not doing lattices again. Thanks, Claire, for this recipe. Even my mom, who doesn't like cinnamon, loved this pie! 🍎❤

[@alyssanava1008]

Any suggestions??

[@joywilliams594]

Crumble is always delightful on an apple pie. It is just the BEST way to make apple pie. I will never double crust again. This is so delicious. I ramp up my apple pie by adding cranberries - I like the tart contrast-, and a bit more spice (she is a bit low on the spice, in my opinion) I add cardamom, more cinnamon, allspice, ginger and then cover it with the crumble. I will try her pie crust. I don't think you can ever over spice the apples. That's me, though. Apples can take a lot as can cranberries. It just makes it more amazing. Seriously. I live on an orchard, with some of the original pippin tart apples from Johnny Appleseed (or John Chapman if you follow history), and you must use TART apples, like Granny Smith or pippins or other green apples. Don't go to sweet apples like Macintosh... (I would like her to comment about that). They aren't baking apples. Apples, like all fruits, caramelize in the oven, so you need to take that into account that they do that while baking, so they get sweeter in the oven.

[@hattiejones7531]

i’ve always wanted to learn how to make apple pie, and if there is anyone’s recipes i trust it’s claire!

[@sempressfi]

They are fun to make! I used to get intimidated/overwhelmed by them lol I get that way with most things involving dough but once I just make myself jump in and do it, it almost always turns out fine. Every once in a while it doesn't but even then it's a great learning experience. I've never made an apple pie (I usually do pecan, pumpkin, or custard based pies) so I think I'm going to finally give it a go as well 😊

[@pooolB]

My mom usually hates the crust on pies and thinks it's the worst part, but I made your pie dough for a pumpkin pie and she said it was the best crust she's ever had and I caught her snacking on all the extra crust peices left in the dish after the pie was gone, so thank you!!💕💕

[@Aleph-Noll]

yeah and if you make this without the crust it just becomes a tasty apple crisp lol

I seriously made myself some cinnamon rolls just so I have some dessert while watching the new episode, because these always make me crave some baked goods. So, here we are. BTW, I often add apples to my cinnamon rolls, highly recommend, they balance the sweetness so nicely.

Watched this while letting some home made applesauce simmer. On theme! Also I learned you can leave the peels on for applesauce, just blend with a blender/food processor/immersion blender once cooked. The skins contain lots of the nutritients and turn the sauce a lovely pink colour.

[@mommaP5150]

My daughter and I did this filling with a lattice top crust this year and I absolutely will be making my filling this way for the rest of my life and so will she and her kids after that I'm sure. It was a big hit at my family gathering this year. I absolutely will try it soon with the crumble topping soon as well.

I've made this pie before and everyone, including me, loved it! The ACV accentuates the tart filling flavor and the topping is just amazing. Granola is the perfect pairing to apples.

[@deliabottoms285]

Adding apple slices around the bottom edge. Why didnt I think of that? Brilliant! I always enjoy watching your dessert person episodes. I always learn something new. Apple pie story: some years ago, I was alone in the house, making an apple pie. When it was ready and bubbly hot, I carefully pulled it out and turned around to put the pie on the cooling rack on the counter. My bro in law was on the other side, looking at my pie and commenting how good it smeled. He showed up out of nowhere. I almost dropped the pie! He pops up anytime I am making a pie. I have concluded that he has pie radar!

[@jean-francoisdaignault9612]

Regarding apple scraps : when making apple pie, I like to boil them in some water in order to extract as much pectin, sugar and flavour as possible. Once everything has completely collapsed, I strain and return the liquid to the rinsed out pan and simmer until think and viscous. I add the liquid to the sliced apples and slightly reduce the amount of corn starch I use. The filling is more more luscious and silky when I do that, and less stodgy or gloopy.
