Recipe View 1 hrs Allow the apple pie to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. This allows the filling to set properly. (60 minutes)

For best results, use a mix of apple varieties for a more complex flavor profile.
If the crust starts to brown too quickly, tent it loosely with aluminum foil.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch of indulgence.
