Nothing beats a homemade apple pie from scratch and this tutorial will take you through the whole process so you too can make the best apple pie. This recipe is a tradition at my house.

I make this apple pie every Thanksgiving and Christmas.

I will explain which apples I like to use which are the Newton Pippin apples but Granny Smith apples will work in a pinch.

I also talk about the tools you will need for pie making. One for sure to get is a pastry cloth. Now a days I won't make a pie crust without one. It just makes light work of pie crust making.

Here is what you need for the apple pie filling:

10 - 12 pippin apples, peeled, cored and thinly sliced
2 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
3/4 to 1 cup sugar, depending on how tart the apples are
1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons cornstarch

Place the sliced apples in a large pot. Mix the cinnamon, sugar, and cornstarch in a bowl. Pour over the apples and stir.

Cover the apples with a lid and cook on low for 20 to 25 minutes or until the apples cook down and become soft. When you cook the apple first like this, the result you will get is, there won't be that gap that most recipes give you, between the top crust and the apples.

You will also get more apples in your pie, which I think makes it even better!

While the apples are cooking, make the pie crust.

Pie Crust Ingredients:

2 1/4 cups white flour, sifted twice
2/3 cup shortening, chilled
1 tsp. salt
6 to 8 tablespoons of ice water
9 inch pie plate
