Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375ðF (190ðC).
  2. Peel, core, and slice the apples into uniform pieces.
  3. Divide the pastry dough in half. Roll out the larger portion on a lightly floured surface into a 13-inch circle.
  4. Line a 9-inch pie tin with the rolled pastry. Trim the edge to extend 1/2 inch beyond the rim.
  5. In a 3-quart saucepan, combine the sliced apples, 1 cup of apple cider, and sugar.
  6. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.
  7. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 8 minutes, or until the apples are tender.
  8. Drain the apples, reserving the syrup.
  9. Add enough additional apple cider to the reserved syrup to make 1/2 cup of liquid.
  10. Stir the cornstarch and water together, then whisk into the cider syrup.
  11. Heat the syrup mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and bubbles.
  12. Stir the butter and cinnamon into the thickened syrup.
  13. Pour the syrup over the cooked apples in the pie crust.
  14. Roll out the remaining pastry dough into a circle to cover the pie.
  15. Place the top crust over the filling. Seal and crimp the edges.
  16. Cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
  17. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  18. Let cool on a wire rack before serving.

Note

Use firm cooking apples such as Granny Smith or Macintosh for the best texture and flavor balance.

If the bottom crust becomes too dark before the top is done, cover the edges with a pie shield or aluminum foil.

Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat slices in the oven for a fresh-baked taste.

For a nuttier flavor, consider adding 1/4 cup of chopped pecans or walnuts to the filling.
